Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 heaping tablespoon minced, fresh ginger
- 1 (2-pound) brisket, at room temperature
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup hoisin sauce (store-bought, we like this brand)
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or other hot sauce
- ¼ cup water
- 2 cups rainbow coleslaw mix
- 1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (regular vinegar could also be used)
- ½ lime, juiced
- Tortillas, warmed, for serving
Instructions
- Turn on the Sauté function. Add the sesame oil followed by the onion. Sauté for 1 minute,
- add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 2 more minutes. Turn off the Sauté function.
- Season the brisket with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the pot. Top with the hoisin sauce, fish sauce, sriracha, and water. Secure the lid.
- Cook at high pressure for 1 hour and use a natural release for 10 minutes followed by a quick release.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, rice vinegar, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss together.
- Once the pressure has released, remove the brisket to a cutting board and let rest.
- Turn on the Sauté function and boil the sauce for 10 minutes to thicken.
- Turn off the Sauté function. Slice the brisket into thin pieces against the grain, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return to the sauce.
- Top warmed tortillas with sauce-coated brisket and slaw and serve.
Notes
You can double this recipe if you have 4 to 5 pounds brisket. Simply cut your brisket in half so that it’ll fit in the cooker and increase the cooking time to 1½ hour.
