Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  sliced onion, separated into rings
  • 3/4  cup  bottled chili sauce
  • 1/2  cup  beer
  • 1  tablespoon  Worcestershire sauce
  • 1  (2 1/2-pound) beef brisket
  • 1  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 4  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4  cup  packed brown sugar
  • 8  (2 1/2-ounce) submarine rolls

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a 6-quart pressure cooker. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of chili sauce mixture from pressure cooker.

Trim fat from brisket. Cut brisket in half crosswise. Rub the brisket with pepper and garlic. Place in pressure cooker. Spoon 1/2 cup chili sauce mixture over brisket. Close lid securely; bring to high pressure over high heat (about 5 minutes). Adjust the heat to medium or level needed to maintain high pressure; cook 1 hour. Remove from heat; place pressure cooker under cold running water. Remove lid. Remove brisket from pressure cooker, and set aside. Add the brown sugar to chili sauce mixture in pressure cooker; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Shred the brisket using 2 forks. Return meat to sauce in pressure cooker; cook until thoroughly heated. Spoon 1 cup meat with sauce over bottom of each roll, and cover with tops of rolls.

This is a very tasty recipe--as good a reason as any to buy a pressure cooker. You can make this on Sunday and eat throughout a busy week. I would recommend doubling the sauce, though. If you don't you'll have flavor-coated brisket, but on a bun, it's a little dry.08/08/04

I tried this recipe over a year ago & now it is one our favorites. It's very easy to make and the taste is superb. It's a great meal to make for all seasons. I would suggest that the sauce recipe be doubled so the brisket has enough liquid to cook in.01/03/03
