Several years ago, my sister made beef brisket for our family Christmas party and shared her recipe. The minute I saw it, I couldn’t wait to convert it to my pressure cooker. (Learn how to convert your family favorite recipes to your pressure cooker .)
Overnight Brisket Recipe
Beef brisket is a flavorful cut of meat that comes from the front, chest area. (I love this illustration—it’s a really great guide to cuts of beef .)
Beef brisket is an awesome choice for pressure cooking! It’s a tougher cut of meat that cooks up tender and juicy in the pressure cooker. (For more on brisket, check out this detailed guide .)
If you’re planning to slice it, I recommend using flat cut brisket. Flat cut brisket has a layer of fat along the bottom, which is easy to remove after cooking. (It’s what I call for in this recipe.)

When brisket is cured in a salty brine, it’s called corned beef. Don’t use brine-cured brisket in this recipe. (If you’re interested in a great corned beef, try my Instant Pot corned beef and cabbage recipe .)
This Instant Pot Brisket recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Mealthy MultiPot.
How much brisket fits what size pressure cooker? A lot of that depends on the shape of your particular cut of meat.
Best Pressure Cooker Beef Brisket Recipes
Flat cut brisket is usually rectangular, but it’s not always exact. Both of the pictured cuts of brisket are around 3 pounds, but they’re quite different in shape.
You may have to cut the brisket in half to fit it in the cooking pot. If this happens, try to fit the pieces side by side rather than stacking one on top of the other.
You can fit larger briskets but be sure to test this out before cooking. If the brisket doesn’t fit across the bottom of the pot, you can cut the brisket into pieces. This will work great for sandwiches or BBQ Beef Brisket Tacos (see page 55 of the Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook).
Smoky & Tender Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot Beef Brisket Recipe
As always, larger pressure cookers will be able to fit larger cuts of meat. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to add more liquid.
After the brisket is finished cooking, remove from the cooking pot and allow to rest for a few minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices, then arrange on a platter.
Just prior to serving, add some of the warm cooking liquid to additional barbecue sauce, and drizzle it over the top of the slices.
Instant Pot Bbq Beef Brisket
One of the things I like about beef brisket is that it pairs well with most sides. So if you’re providing the main dish and asking guests to bring a side, you have a lot of options. Here are some of my favorites:
Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot Hash Brown Casserole |These cheesy Instant Pot potatoes are the perfect comfort food, and they’re my favorite homemade side for this Instant Pot Brisket.
Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot Cornbread |This shortcut recipe starts with a Jiffy Corn Muffin mix, so it comes together super quick. However, if you prefer from-scratch cornbread, I have a great recipe for Buttermilk Corn Bread on page 261 of my cookbook, The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook.

You can pressure cook these potatoes in advance. Prior to serving, just coat them in melted butter, garlic, and herbs, sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese, and brown them in your air fryer or broil them in an oven.

Juicy Beef Brisket
Since brisket can be a more expensive cut of meat, I like to reheat it in the pressure cooker. This helps ensure it doesn’t dry out.
To reheat brisket, use the pot in pot method: Place a trivet in the bottom of your pressure cooking pot, and add 1 cup of water. Place a cake pan or oven-safe dish on top of the trivet, then cook at High Pressure until the meat is cooked through.
You may want to cover the pan with foil, but it isn’t necessary for brisket. If you do use foil, you’ll need to increase your cook time.
Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Recipe
To show you how easy this Instant Pot Brisket is, I’ve made a quick video. I use the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus in this video, so you can get a glimpse of it in action!
If necessary, you can cut the brisket in half to get it to fit in a 6 quart pressure cooker. Try to place the pieces side by side rather than stacking them to ensure the two pieces cook evenly.

The prunes completely break down under pressure, giving the sauce body and sweetness, while the smoked paprika, cinnamon and bay leaf make it fragrant and complex. Serve this with buttered noodles if you want to go the full-on comfort food route, or with polenta or roasted potatoes for something a little more sophisticated.
Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
Technique tip: To cook this in a slow cooker, cut meat into 6 to 8 pieces and place in the pot. Cover the meat with the onion-carrot mixture. Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours or on low for 9 to 11 hours.
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, salt, pimentón, black pepper and allspice. Add the beef to the bowl and rub the garlic mixture all over the meat, then top with the sprigs of thyme. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Using the sauté function, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the pressure cooker pot. Pull the thyme sprigs off the beef and reserve. Working in batches, add the beef to the pot and sear until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side, taking care to brown all sides of the meat, and adding more oil as needed. Transfer the beef to a plate as it's done browning.

If the pot looks dry, add a bit more oil. Add the onion and sauté, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot, until the onions are golden at the edges, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and sauté until it darkens, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef to the pot and add the wine, carrots, prunes, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and reserved thyme sprigs.
Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.

Transfer the beef to a plate or a carving board, preferably with a juice groove to catch the liquid, and tent with foil to keep warm. Using the sauté function, simmer the remaining sauce in the pressure cooker until it thickens to taste, about 20 minutes. Use a fat-separator to skim the fat, or let the sauce settle and spoon the fat off the top. Remove the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and thyme sprigs. Add any juices from the cutting board to the sauce.
