Instructions
  • In a medium bowl, combine Spice Mixture ingredients and rub over trimmed brisket. Place brisket in a large ziplock bag or other tightly covered container and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • Pour one cup of water in the Instant Pot and insert the steam rack. Stack the brisket pieces on the rack, fat side up.
  • Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.

  • When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a foil-covered baking sheet and brush with BBQ sauce.
  • Set the brisket under the broiler for 4-5 minutes until caramelized and bubbly.
  • Slice meat against the grain and serve.
