ONION-BRAISED BEEF BRISKET
The multicooker has the ability to produce meltingly tender brisket and a flavorful sauce, but getting there requires a few tricks. We started with a flat cut brisket, which we halved to make it easier to fit in the multicooker. Browning both halves built up a savory base for our braising liquid, and by further amping up the braising liquid's flavor with lots of aromatics, it could later double as a luxurious serving sauce. We softened a generous 2½ pounds of onions in the rendered fat from the meat, adding garlic, tomato paste, paprika, cayenne, and plenty of herbs to round out the flavor. A combination of broth and wine added savory depth and brightness. Our brisket needed a long cooking time, whether we cooked it on the pressure setting or the slow setting, to become fully tender, but our real breakthrough came when we left the brisket in the turned-off multicooker for an extra hour: This rest time allowed the meat to soak up some of the liquid it had lost during cooking, leading to a moister, more sliceable texture. After the brisket's rest, we took it out of the pot and used the sauté function to reduce the sauce to the right consistency before serving.

Steps:
- Pat brisket dry with paper towels and place fat side up on cutting board. Using fork, poke holes in meat through fat layer about 1 inch apart. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using highest sauté or browning function, heat oil in multi- cooker for 5 minutes (or until just smoking). Place 1 brisket half fat side down in multicooker and cook until well browned, about 8 minutes. Flip brisket and cook until well browned on second side, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to large plate. Repeat with second brisket half; transfer to plate.
- Add onions and ¼ teaspoon salt to fat left in multicooker and cook until onions are softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, paprika, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, wine, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs, scraping up any browned bits. Nestle brisket halves into onion mixture (pieces will overlap), adding any accumulated juices.
- TO PRESSURE COOK: Lock lid in place and close pressure release valve. Select high pressure cook function and cook for 1½ hours. Turn off multicooker and let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Quick-release any remaining pressure and let brisket sit, covered, for 1 hour. Carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
- TO SLOW COOK: Lock lid in place and open pressure release valve. Select low slow cook function and cook until beef is tender and knife slips easily in and out of meat, 6½ to 7½ hours. (If using Instant Pot, select high slow cook function and increase cooking range to 10 to 11 hours.) Turn off multicooker and let brisket sit, covered, for 1 hour. Carefully remove lid.
- Transfer brisket to carving board and tent with aluminum foil. Strain braising liquid through fine-mesh strainer into bowl. Discard bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Reserve onions in separate bowl. Let liquid settle, then skim excess fat from surface using large spoon. Return liquid to multicooker and cook using highest sauté or browning function until reduced to about 2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Slice brisket against grain into ¼-inch-thick slices and place slices on serving dish. Stir reserved onions and vinegar into sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over brisket and serve.

Steps:
- Coat a large roasting pan with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Season the brisket generously with salt. Add the brisket to the pan and brown well on both sides. Remove the brisket from the pan and reserve.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lower the heat to medium, ditch the excess oil, and add the bacon and reserved skin to the pan with a little more oil. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and has let out a lot of fat. Add the onions and celery. Season with salt and cook until they are very soft and aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and wilted. Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce it by half. Taste it - it will be very vinegary, but that's ok, don't worry. Season with salt, if needed. Lay the brisket on top of the veggie mix and add the chicken stock to the pan until it just covers the brisket. Add the bay leaves and thyme.
- Cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven. Roast for 1 hour, check the brisket, and turn it over. Add more stock if the liquid level has reduced. Cover the pan again and return it to the oven for another hour. Remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes more.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven, transfer the brisket to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid. If the vegetables are swimming in liquid, reduce the liquid on the stovetop over medium-high heat. You want the sauce to be soupy. Taste the liquid and re-season if needed. Slice the brisket against the grain on the bias. Serve topped with the onion-mushroom mixture and sprinkle with chopped chives.
BRAISED BRISKET WITH MUSHROOMS (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)
Lovely flavor! Cut the brisket in half and cool it in the braising liquid to let it soak up liquid lost during cooking. Dried porcini boosts the mushroom flavor, and start with whole white mushrooms, not sliced, which lose all texture during cooking. Instructions are included for making up to 3 days ahead. Based on the delicious recipe by America's Test Kitchen. (Their site doesn't post nutritional info!)

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Pat brisket dry, prick all over fatty side with fork, and cut into 2 roasts (important for liquid reabsorption later). Season with salt and pepper.
- Use 2 skillets to brown both roasts at once. Heat oil in 12-inch skillets over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown roasts on both sides (10-14 minutes). Transfer fat side up to a single 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
- Meanwhile, microwave 3/4 cup water and porcini in covered bowl until steaming (1 minute). Let sit until softened (5 minutes). Drain porcini through strainer lined with coffee filter, reserve liquid, and mince and reserve porcini.
- Scrape browned bits from roasts into single skillet, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook medium-high until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden brown (8 minutes).
- Add onions and sugar, and cook until browned (8-10 minutes).
- Add flour, garlic, and thyme, and cook until golden and fragrant (1 to 2 minutes).
- Slowly whisk in broth, wine, ½ cup reserved porcini liquid, reserved porcini, and bay leaves, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes.
- Pour sauce over roasts and cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until tender and fork inserted into meat meets no resistance, 4½ to 5 hours.
- Let brisket cool in dish at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour, flipping halfway through cooling. Discard bay leaves. (Cooled brisket can be refrigerated in sauce for 2 days; reheat gently, covered, in 300-degree oven for 1 hour before proceeding with next step.).
- Transfer roasts to carving board. Strain sauce through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator; reserve mushrooms. Let liquid settle, then pour into bowl. Stir vinegar into sauce and microwave until warm, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Slice roasts against grain into ¼-inch slices and return to dish with mushrooms. Pour 1½ cups sauce over meat. Serve with remaining sauce.
- (Refrigerate sliced brisket in sauce for up to 3 days; reheat meat in sauce.).

Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven rack to tower-mlddle position; heat oven to 300 degrees. Line 13 by 9-inch baking dish with two 24-inch-long sheets of 18-inch-wide heavy-duty foil, positioning sheets perpendicular to each other and allowing excess foil to extend beyond edges of pan. Pat brisket dry with paper towels. Place brisket fat side up on cutting board; using dinner fork, poke holes in meat through fat layer about 1 inch apart. Season both sides of brisket liberally with salt and pepper. 2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until oil just begins to smoke. Place brisket fat side up in skillet (brisket may climb up sides of skillet); weight brisket with heavy Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet and cook until well browned, about 7 minutes. Remove Dutch oven; using tongs, flip brisket and cook on secend side without weight until well browned, about 7 minutes longer. Transfer brisket to platter. 3. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan (or, if brisket was lean, add enough oil to fat in skillet to equal 1 tablespoon); stir in onions, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute; add tomato paste and cook, stirring to combine, until paste darkens, about 2 minutes. Add paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over onions and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add broth, wine, bay, and thyme, stirring to scrape up browned bits from pan; bring to simmer and simmer about 5 minutes to fully thicken. 4. Pour sauce and onions into foil-lined baking dish. Nestle brisket, fat side up, in sauce and onions. Fold foil extensions over and seal (do not tightly crimp foil because foil must later be opened to test for deaeness). Place in oven and cook until fork can be inserted into and removed from center of brisket with no resistance, 1 1/2 to 4 hours (when testing for doneness, open foil with caution as contents will be steaming). Carefully open foil and let brisket cool at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. 5. Transfer brisket to large bowl; set mesh strainer over bowl and strain sauce over brisket. Discard bay and thyme from onions and transfer onions to small bowl. Cover both bowls with plastic wrap, cut vents in plastic with paring knife, and refrigerate overnight. 6. About 45 minutes before serving, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. While oven heats, transfer cold brisket to cutting board. Scrape off and discard any congealed fat from sauce, then transfer sauce to medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm, skimming any fat on surface with wide shallow spoon (you should have about 2 cups sauce without onions; if necessary, simmer sauce over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 cups). While sauce heats, use chef's or carving knife to slice brisket against grain into 1/ 4-inch-thick slices, trimming and discarding any excess fat, if desired; place slices in 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Stir reserved onions and vinegar into warmed sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over brisket slices, cover baking dish with foil, and bake until heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately. To Make and Serve the Brisket on the Same Day If you would like to make and serve the brisket on the same day, after removing the brisket from the oven in step 4, reseal the foil and let the brisket stand at room temperature for an hour. Then transfer the brisket to a cutting board and continue with the recipe to strain, defat, and reheat the sauce and slice the meat; because the brisket will still be hot, there will be no need to put it back into the oven once the reheated sauce is poured over it.

- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and prick the roast all over with a fork. Cut the brisket in half crosswise into two roasts (just like you'd cut a sandwich or apple in half). Season each roast with salt and pepper.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium or medium-high heat until rippling and hot. Brown the brisket on both sides (working with one roast at a time), about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer fat-side up to a 9X13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining roast.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet. Add the mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Add the onions and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the flour, garlic, and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the broths and bay leaves, scraping up any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 6-7 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the roasts in the 9X13-inch pan and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the roasts in the preheated oven until very tender, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour, flipping the roasts and recovering the dish halfway through cooling.
