Pressure Cooker Beef Brisket

Pressure Cooker Beef Brisket

​Brisket is a cut of beef that is usually cooked at a low heat for a lengthy period of time in order to tenderize the meat and develop flavour.  Using a pressure cooker helps achieve these results in less time.  The meat in this recipe can be enjoyed on its own or used in our Brisket Hash and our Brisket on a Bun.
