Directions & Preparation

Mix the spice rub, rub on the meat:

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

.5 tsp cumin powder

.75 tsp dry mustard powder

1 tsp salt

.5 tsp black pepper

10.

For sauce, mix in the Instant Pot:

11.

0.5 cups apple cider vinegar

12.

2 garlic cloves, minced

13.

1.5 cups ketchup

14.

0.5 cups brown sugar

15.

2 tsp black pepper

16.

2 tsp onion powder

17.

2 tsp dry mustard powder

18.

1 tsp cayenne pepper

19.

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

20.

Make a mental note of how the grain runs on the meat, it may be more difficult to tell once cooked and covered in sauce.

21.

Place a ~3 lb brisket into the Instant Pot, cook on 'slow cook' setting for 8-10 hrs, until fork tender.

22.

Remove the brisket, drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil, and bake for 15 min at 390F.

23.

Meanwhile, reduce the sauce until just starting to get syrupy.

24.

Baste the meat generously with the sauce, bake another 5 min. Baste again, bake another 5-10 min, but be careful not to burn, as the sauce becomes bitter if burnt.

25.

Slice against the grain, and serve with the remained of the sauce
