Perfect for Sunday family dinners, this is always a hit for Sunday Football or when you want something cozy but impressive without babysitting the stove. I love making this on special occasions or when I have guests over. It looks impressive but it the pressure cooker does all the work.
Another impressive dish that is super easy but always a show stopper is my Oven Baked Ribs.
Whenever my friends crave Filipino food I make them these my Chicken Adobo or add coconut milk and you get Chicken Adobo with Coconut Milk (both a family favourite).

Pressure Cooker Asian Braised Beef (only 10 ingredients!)
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Cut the beef brisket into 2-inch pieces. Pat dry well. Salt and pepper on all sides.6 lbs beef brisket
- Heat your pressure cooker on Sauté. Add a little oil and sear the beef in batches until deeply browned on all sides.2 tbsp neutral oil
- Remove excess oil from the pot (leave the browned bits - thats all flavor).
- Add the rest of the ingredients.½ cup water, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup rice vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 4 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp of tomato paste, 3- inch ginger, 4 cloves of garlic
- Return the beef to the pot and toss to coat evenly.
- Seal the lid and pressure cook on High for 90 minutes.
- Natural release for 15 minutes, then carefully vent.
- Optional but recommended: reduce the sauce and add cornstarch slurry to make it thicker and more glossy.
- Serve with rice or mashed potatoes and your favourite vegetables.
Notes
- Brown your beef properly. Crust = major flavor.
- Brisket needs time: It's a tough, collagen-rich cut that needs long pressure cooking to break down and become fork-tender.
- Sauce reduction matters: Pressure cooking thins sauces. Reducing after cooking concentrates flavor and gives you that glossy finish. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken.
- Make-ahead = better flavour: Resting overnight deepens the flavour and allows excess fat to rise, making it easy to skim.
