Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef brisket (look for one with good marbling for extra flavor)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for richness)
• 1 large onion, sliced (sweet varieties work wonders here)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best, but hey, we’ve all been in a pinch)
• 1 cup beef broth (homemade if you have it, but store-bought does the trick)
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (a splash adds depth)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that subtle smokiness)
• Salt and pepper to taste (I’m generous with the pepper)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in your pressure cooker on the sauté setting until it shimmers.
2. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper, then sear it in the cooker for about 4 minutes per side, until deeply browned. Tip: Don’t rush this step—the crust is key for flavor.
3. Remove the brisket and set aside. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft, about 3 minutes.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Tip: Those bits are flavor gold!
5. Return the brisket to the pot, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and lock the lid in place.

Wow, the brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender with a rich, savory depth. Serve it over creamy mashed potatoes or pile it high on toasted buns for an epic sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef brisket, trimmed (I like to leave a little fat for extra flavor)
• 1 cup beef broth (homemade if you’ve got it, but store-bought works fine)

• 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste – this is where the heat comes from)
