beef brisket | 2.5 lb |
Keto BBQ seasoning (or any sugar free store brand) | 1/4 cup |
avocado or other light tasting oil | 2 tbsp |
peeled onion | 4 slices |
water | 2/3 cup |
apple cider vinegar | 2 tbsp |
low sugar ketchup | 2 tbsp |
Rub brisket on all sides with BBQ seasoning. Heat oil in Instant Pot on Saute function. Place the seasoned brisket into the pot and sear for 3 minutes per side.
Remove with tongs and add the four slices of onion to the bottom of the pot. Place the brisket, fat side up on top of the onions. Whisk together water, apple cider vinegar and ketchup. Pour around the brisket.
Cover and seal according to manufacturer’s instructions. Set to Manual, High Pressure and enter 60 minutes on the timer.
When finished cooking, use the quick release function to remove steam and pressure. Once all steam is removed, unlock and carefully remove the lid.
Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. When the brisket is done, you’ll want to let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing to serve.
You’ll want to slice the brisket against the grain carefully with a sharp knife to break up the muscle fibers and make it even easier to eat. It’s easier to shred it, through it’s not as pretty when you serve it. Serve the sliced brisket with the onions and pan juices.
