01
Step 1
Start by tossing the tomatillos, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, water, salt, and brown sugar into a food processor. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth, then set that sauce aside for now.

Step 2
Next, heat some olive oil in your pressure cooker over medium heat, leaving the lid off. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring until the onions turn translucent, which should take about 3 minutes.

Step 3
Now, place the brisket in the cooker and sear it on both sides until it gets a nice brown crust. Once that’s done, pour the tomatillo sauce over the meat and bring it up to a boil.

Step 4
Seal the pressure cooker with the lid, and once it reaches pressure, lower the heat to maintain a medium pressure. Let it cook for about an hour and 15 minutes.

Step 5
When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally rather than using the quick-release setting. Carefully take out the brisket and serve it hot, with the tomatillo sauce on the side for dipping or pouring over.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines tender, slow-cooked beef with a vibrant and smoky sauce that adds a perfect balance of heat and tang. The rich flavors and melt-in-your-mouth texture make it a comforting meal for any occasion.
How to serve
Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or roasted vegetables to complement the smoky sauce. A fresh green salad or pickled onions can add a nice contrast to the rich flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stove to keep the meat tender and the sauce flavorful. For longer storage, freeze the brisket and sauce separately for up to 3 months.
