BBQ Brisket Sandwich (Instant Pot)
BBQ Brisket Sandwich (Instant Pot)
Who doesn’t love a good bbq brisket sandwich? The only problem is that if you don’t have hours on end to smoke a brisket, then no sandwich. Using an Instant Pot will drastically cut down on that time; only 15 minutes per pound. To speed up the process even further, I recommend cubing the brisket. It’s going to be shredded anyway, so why not. I like to sear the brisket with the onions, garlic and seasoning before the pressure cooking process. Once done, I cook out all the liquid so none of the flavor goes to waste. I add in the bbq sauce the last couple of minutes. Before you know it, you’ll have the most tender and flavorful bbq brisket that would normally take 4-5 hours minimum. Plus everything is made in one pot; cutting back on the dishes.
