Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs brisket
  • 1 cup dry red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Turn the Instant Pot to 'Sauté.' Add a splash of oil and sear the brisket on both sides for about 5 minutes until browned. Remove brisket and set aside.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic in the pot for approximately 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Pour in red wine and deglaze by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom; simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in beef broth, salt, and pepper. Return brisket to the pot, ensuring it's partially submerged.
  5. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes before quick-releasing any remaining pressure.
  6. Carefully slice the brisket against the grain and serve drizzled with sauce.
