This Instant Pot Brisket recipe is an easy, savory dish that you can make without heating up your entire house. Dump in everything and just let it make itself, and you end up with a savory, melt-in-your-mouth dish for dinner.
Layer the sliced onions at the bottom of the pressure cooker. You are doing this to get some lovely flavorful stock into the recipe, and also keep the brisket from scorching. You do not need to use beef broth, apple cider vinegar or barbeque sauce, or any other way to flavor your brisket if you follow this method.
Remove the meat from the pot. Using an immersion blender, purée the sauce and onion in the pot. Your flavorful cooking liquid just turned to gold around this brisket.
