Instant Pot Mongolian Braised Brisket With Coconut Milk Recipes

INSTANT POT MONGOLIAN BRAISED BRISKET WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Preheat Instant Pot to saute setting.
• Dry brisket and season generously with salt. Add grapeseed oil to pot and swirl to coat. When smoking, add brisket, in batches if necessary, and saute until deeply golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove brisket to a plate as it finishes and replenish or drain oil as necessary to maintain approximately 2 tablespoons per batch. Add onion, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, cinnamon stick, and brown sugar, again replenishing pot if necessary with additional 1 tablespoon oil, and season generously with salt. Saute until onions are softened and golden in spots and brown sugar is caramelized, about 6 minutes more. Return brisket to pot, nestling meat beneath vegetables. Add vinegar, soy sauce, and beef broth, scraping bottom of pot to deglaze. (This can also be done in a skillet over high heat. Saute timing will be reduced. Transfer brisket, vegetables, and pan sauce to Instant Pot before proceeding.).
• Top with lid and place on high pressure. Cook 45 minutes and then allow pressure to release naturally for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove brisket and vegetables with a slotted spoon. Cover with foil to keep warm. Transfer cooking liquid to a fat separator or measuring cup and skim fat. Return sauce to Instant Pot and place on saute setting. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced, 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and continue to reduce, 5 minutes more. Season to taste (the broth) with salt and lime juice. Return the meat and vegetables to the sauce and serve with rice, cilantro, and additional lime wedges.

VIETNAMESE CARAMELIZED PORK (THIT KO) - INSTANT POT VERSION

Steps:

• Place eggs into the instant pot on a wire rack. Pour in 1 cup of water and set on high pressure for 5 minutes. Do a quick release and put the eggs in an ice bath. Peel and set aside.
• Combine the pork with garlic, shallot, salt, black pepper, msg, soy sauce in a large bowl. Let this marinate while you make the caramel sauce. You can also do this step ahead of time and just let it sit overnight in the fridge.
• Set the pot to Saute mode on high. Add in the marinated pork and saute for 5-7 minutes until the garlic and shallots are soft and the pork has some color. Deglaze with 1 cup of water making sure to scrape up all the bits. Turn off the pot.
• Time to make the caramel sauce! In a separate small frying pan, caramelize the sugar until it reaches a dark golden brown. Careful not to burn it. Watch it carefully! Slowly pour in ¼ cup of water and stir to make a sauce. Add to the instant pot. (You can also caramelize the sugar while your meat browns.).
• Add the hard boiled eggs, coconut soda, star anise pods and (if needed) just enough water to cover the pork. It should not take more than 2 cups. Cook it on high pressure for 30 minutes and NPR for 15 minutes.*.
• Add the fish sauce and salt to taste (if needed). Serve with rice and pickled vegetables!
• *OPTIONAL - Once you remove the lid, set it to Saute mode on high for 15 minutes to reduce the liquid by 1/3. You don't have to worry too much with the instant pot overboiling or over reducing because it will maintain the heat level and switch to "keep warm" when the timer shuts off.

INSTANT POT BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the steak seasoning, cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Brush the brisket with liquid smoke and then sprinkle both sides with the steak seasoning mixture, making sure to rub it inches Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Pour the barbecue sauce into a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Add the marinated brisket, turning it over to coat both sides. Lock the lid, making sure the valve is set to seal, and cook on high pressure for 75 minutes. Natural release for 15 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam.
• Carefully open the lid and transfer the cooked brisket to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Press the sauté button and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the brisket and then thinly slice before serving.
• Note: If you want to develop a crust on the brisket, you can place under the broiler for a few minutes after you've poured the BBQ sauce over the brisket.
