Tender Beef Brisket in Chipotle Tomatillo Sauce

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Blend the tomatillos, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, water, salt, and brown sugar in a food processor until everything is nice and smooth. Set that flavorful sauce aside for now.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in your pressure cooker over medium heat, leaving the lid off. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring until the onions turn translucent—this usually takes about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Once the onions are ready, add the brisket to the pot and sear it on both sides until it gets a nice brown crust. Pour the tomatillo sauce over the meat, then bring everything to a boil.

Step 4

Put the lid on the pressure cooker and wait until it reaches medium pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain that pressure, and let it cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Step 5

When the time's up, let the pressure release naturally—don’t rush it with the quick-release. Carefully take out the brisket and serve it hot, with the tangy tomatillo sauce on the side.
