Instant-Pot Korean Chilli-Braised Brisket and Kimchi Coleslaw

Ingredients for Instant-Pot Korean Chilli-Braised Brisket and Kimchi Coleslaw

• 4 to 2.3kg beef brisket, cut into 3 or 4 pieces

• 1 tablespoon dried red chilli flakes, preferably Korean gochugaru

• 1 cucchiaio di paprika dolce

• 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste

• 1/2 cucchiaini di pepe nero macinato fresco

• 1 to 3 tablespoons peanut or safflower oil, as needed

• 1 cipolla grande, tritata

• 4 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

• 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

• 150g lager-style beer

• 40g gochujang (Korean chilli paste) or Sriracha

• 2 cucchiai di ketchup

• 2 cucchiai di salsa di soia

• 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce

• 1 cucchiaino di olio di sesamo tostato

• 5 cups shredded cabbage (from 1 small cabbage)

• 1/4 cup chopped kimchi, plus more to taste

• 2 tablespoons peanut, grapeseed, or olive oil

• 1 cucchiaino di olio di sesamo tostato

• Juice of 1/2 lime, plus more to taste

• 1/2 cucchiaini di sale marino fine, più altro a piacere

Rub the beef with the chilli flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

Set the electric pressure cooker to sauté (or use a large skillet). Add a tablespoon of the oil, let it heat up for a few seconds, and then add a batch of the beef and sear until it’s browned all over, about 2 minutes per side, adding more oil as needed. Transfer the beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining batches.

If the pot looks dry, add a bit more oil. Add the onion and sauté until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute longer. Add the beer, gochujang, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Scrape the mixture into the pressure cooker if you have used a skillet.

Cover and cook on high pressure for 90 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, and then release the remaining pressure manually.

To make the kimchi coleslaw, combine the cabbage, kimchi, both oils, lime juice, and salt in a large bowl and toss well. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice if needed.

Transfer the beef to a plate or a rimmed cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Set the pressure cooker to sauté and simmer the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is reduced by half or two-thirds (remember that it thickens as it cools). Use a fat separator to skim off the fat, or let the sauce settle and spoon the fat off the top. Serve the sauce alongside the beef, with the kimchi coleslaw.

Cut the beef into 6 to 8 pieces instead of 3 or 4 pieces. Marinate and brown as in steps 1 and 2. Place the meat in the pot and cover with the sautéed onion mixture from step 3. Cook on high for 7 to 9 hours or low for 10 to 12 hours.
