Beef Brisket

Tonight I made a fresh beef brisket in the digital pressure cooker, so easy, just set it and forget it until it chimes, then thicken up the gravy and you’re good to go with a nice dinner. We had this with some buttered noodles and fresh carrots. Hubby will take some sandwiches with it tomorrow for lunch at work.
Fresh Beef Brisket

1- 4 to 5 pound thin cut fresh brisket.
1 large onion diced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine

Heat pressure cooker on the brown setting, when hot add the brisket fat side down. Brown for 5 minutes until it is seared nicely on the first side then turn over and brown the second side, when the second side is browned, lift the meat and add the onions, let them cook a minute or two then add the salt, pepper, wine and beef broth. Lock the top on the pressure cooker and set it for between 60-75 minutes depending on the size of your brisket. When the pressure cooker chimes, release the pressure and remove the top. Put the meat on a platter to rest and turn the pressure cooker to the browning setting once more to heat the remaining broth in the pot and reduce it some,make a slurry of 3 tablespoons of flour and 1 cup of water, after the liquid has reduced add the slurry while whisking and allow to boil for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve with the meat. Leftovers make great sandwiches or you can use the meat in pot pies or Shepherds Pie.
