Asian Beef Brisket Burger (pressure cooker)

Jump to Recipe

I have been wanting to try this recipe since forever! 

I love brisket beef, but I never had enough courage to try it at home. 

You can’t blame me considering the complication around this recipe, the smoking and the cooking for hours! I don’t have time for that honestly, I wish I do, but juggling with a full-time job, a blog and a house to run, I have enough on my plate already! 

But I found the perfect way to solve this problem with this recipe. Since that successful trial this recipe switched from complicated and long to my go to recipe whenever I don’t feel like standing in the kitchen. 

Yes, you heard it right, this is how easy it became for me, thanks to my electrical pressure cooker (instant pot). 

I marinated the beef brisket before night, popped it the next day in the pressure cooker and I have the most delicious full of flavor beef brisket burger for lunch in one hour! 

Amazing right?! The pictures are the biggest prove of how delicious it is! 

I pair it with some homemade coleslaw on a whole wheat burger bun with a homemade BBQ sauce made from the leftover sauce of this beef brisket. 

Heaven on earth with each bite!

Notes

Mustard powder: if you can’t find the powder you can just add 1 tbsp Yellow mustard to the marinate.
Korean BBQ sauce: if you cannot find the CJ Korean BBQ Sauce (Bulgogi Marinade) you can substitute it with the same amount of ketchup mixed with 2 tbsp of brown sugar. This Korean BBQ sauce is a combination of fruits puree like pear and apple with soy sauce and seasonings, it has sweet fruity taste that is not easy to replace, so I highly recommend you invest in one jar but there is always a substitute if you cannot find it.
Carob molasses: carob molasses is a Lebanese molasses made from the carob plant it is like the normal molasses but with a much deeper, chocolate-like, sweet fruity flavor. but I don’t think you can find it easily any place in the world, so if you can’t find it just replace it with normal molasses or honey.
For meal prep and storing:  for this recipe store the brisket shredded beef separately from the BBQ sauce and store the coleslaw chopped veggies separately from the dressing.it can be stored in the fridge in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days.  And when you want to eat it for lunch at work or later in the week for dinner, Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving. drizzle the BBQ sauce over the brisket shredded meat and make it hot in the microwave or in any way you like and toss it to combine and cover all the brisket meat with the sauce. In this way you keep the brisket moist and soft , because if you mix and store it will dry out !
