Instructions
- Combine beer, ketchup, and cranberry sauce in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Set the instant pot on sauté mode “high” and add the olive oil. Salt and pepper the brisket and brown it on both sides - about three minutes per side. Remove brisket.
- Turn sauté down to “normal” and add sliced onions to pan. Brown the onions, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place brisket on onions – layering it as needed, then pour beer mixture over brisket. Close the lid and turn it on to “pressure cook” for 60 minutes.
- When 60 minutes is up, let it natural pressure release (NPR) for 10 minutes, then let it quick release for about four minutes or until the silver knob goes down.
- At this point, the meat should be almost tender. Remove and slice it across the grain (crucial to cut against the grain or it will be tough to chew even if it is cooked properly)
Notes
Tips for buying brisket
The easiest way to buy a piece of brisket is at a meat counter where they have it pre-trimmed or can trim it for you. Try to buy a piece of fairly even thickness.
There are two cuts - the first cut and second cut. The first cut will be very lean. Most stores carry this cut. The second cut or deckle has much more fat and marbling in it.
If you buy a whole brisket, it will have the deckle and the first cut - the deckle will be on top.
If you buy whole brisket, you will pay less per pound but you will need to trim it. You'll have to cut off some pieces that are similar in thickness so it cooks evenly under pressure. Just count on an extra 20 minutes or so to prepare the meat.
