Instapot Brisket

INGREDIENTS

• 2-3 lb brisket

•  1/2 cup Coarse ground pepper

• 1/2 cup Coarse salt

• 1/2 cup, packed Brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon Cumin

• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon (optional) Onion powder

• 2 1/4 cups your favorite BBQ sauce

• 1/2-3/4 cup Water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make a dry rub. Put the dry ingredients above in a bowl and mix together. You can add a few peppercorns if you want, if you do - break them up before you mix them in.  Or, you can always just use your favorite dry rub from the store - we have several we like, but the mixture above always seems to be a crowd pleaser and isnt too tough to make.

   
   

2. Rub it in and let it sit. Sprinkle rub all over brisket and then really rub it in with fingers and hands. If you can plan ahead, let the rub sit on the brisket overnight in the fridge. If not, let it sit at least 30 minutes to an hour to get the rub to start adding some flavor. Remember to wrap the brisket in plastic wrap while it sits in the fridge with the rub on it. 

   
   

3. Put it in the pot. Put 2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce and enough water to cover brisket. 

   
   

4. Cook it. Set to cook for 90 minutes on manual. Let depressurize for 30-45 minutes before you open it. 

   
   

5. Take it out. When time is up, pull it out and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Cut across the grain of the meat for slices as best you can, but it may jsut start falling apart! Cut as thin or thick as you like it. Pour a little sauce from the cooker over the top of the slices and enjoy it!
