INGREDIENTS
  • ¾ c. onion
  • 1 c. salsa verde

  3. Remove a ⅔ cup of liquid from the pot. (Reserve the liquid for cooking rice.) Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir until well combined. Top chicken with green onions.

Beef Brisket

Tender beef brisket, ready in about an hour and a half thanks to the magic of the pressure cooker.

Ingredients:

  • 4-pound beef brisket (flat cut)
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Toppings:

  • Thin-sliced onions
  • Dill Pickles
  • Texas-style barbecue sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the beef brisket: Cut the brisket crosswise into 4 equal pieces, each about 2 inches across. Sprinkle the brisket with the salt, ancho chile powder, and black pepper. Put the brisket in the pressure cooker pot, trying to get it into a loose single layer – but don’t pack it in. If the pieces don’t fit, add a second layer crosswise to the first layer, like you’re building a house with Lincoln Logs. Pour the water and Worcestershire sauce over the beef.
  2. Pressure Cook for 60 minutes with a natural pressure release: Lock the lid, then pressure cook at high pressure for 60 minutes in an electric PC, 50 minutes in a stovetop PC, and let the pressure come down naturally, about 15 minutes more. Unlock the lid, opening it away from you – the steam is hot. Test the brisket with a fork – it should be easy to poke a fork through the thickest part of the thickest piece. If it’s not done, lock the lid and cook for another ten minutes at high pressure.
  3. Slice and serve: Carefully lift the pieces of beef out of the cooker and transfer to a carving board. Strain the liquid in the pot into a fat separator. Slice the brisket into 1/2 inch thick slices, drizzle with a little of the defatted sauce, and serve, passing barbecue sauce at the table.
