directions
- Make up the marinade, I zapped it with the imersion blender without the garlic.
- Really trim the brisket get most of that fat-n-silver skin off.
- Bag the trimmed briskets with the marinade and the garlic& keep it overnight.
- Get that pressure cooker HOT and sear the brisket in a bit of oil.
- Add everything but the carrots, potatoes, mushrooms& half the onions, add enough of the stock to not quite cover the meat.
- Cook under pressure for 30 minutes.
- Fast cool under cold water.
- Add the veggies and move around to mix.
- Cook under pressure another 18 minutes.
- Fast cool, remove the meat for sliceing, and seperate out the larger chunks of carrot, potato, and mushroom.
- Use the immersion blender or blend in a blender to get the gravy fairly smooth and not quite thick enough to stand a spoon.
- If it isn't thick enough, add some more of the potato, carrot, and mushroom.
- Check for proper salt and pepper.
- Slice the brisket, say a quarter inch or so, whatever works.
- Bag in one or two serving portions with the gravy.
- Freeze the bags for boil and serve.
- Those reserved veggies go well with the remainder of the meat and gravy.

Well lessee. I'm a retired, post 65 male live-alone, self taught but been cooking most of my life, wrote a cookbook for friends http://www.heywired.org/TIMM/cookwoof.htm
Favorite cooking books Cookwise by Shirley Corriher, an old Joy of Cooking, Jeff Smiths The Frugal Gourmet, Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home, and a couple of those private printings.
A Word on How I feel about RATEINGS.
I reserve that fifth star for SUPRISE ME purposes. The new combination. The Idea that I haven't seen before. The spark that elevates a recipie from the ordinary-with-variations. If I don't seem to give a lot of 5s that's why. A 4 is a great taste.
