Pressure Cooker BBQ Brisket

Step 1

Mix all of the rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Season the brisket generously on all sides with the rub, pressing it in with your fingers until it is completely coated. Unless you have an extra large brisket, you will have left over rub to save for another use. Wrap the brisket tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.

Step 2

When you are ready to cook the brisket, cut it in half to fit in your pressure cooker properly. Add 1 cup of water to the pot and place the trivet in the bottom. Place 1 piece of meat, fat facing up, on the trivet then place the second piece on top of it with the fat facing up. Pressure cook on hight for 75 minutes using natural pressure release.

Step 3

Carefully remove the brisket when finished cooking and place on to a baking sheet lined with heavy duty foil. Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce and put it under the broiler on high to caramelize a bit - don't walk away! Turn over and do the same to the other side. You can do this twice for extra caramelization if you want. Another option is to put your BBQ sauce on and put it on the grill for a few minutes. Let rest for about 10 minutes then slice carefully against the grain.
