Take 3. . . still looking for a good brisket recipe!

Here's the third recipe I'll be trying on brisket. The beef is marinating right now for tomorrow's dinner. This time I'll be cooking it in a pressure cooker. (The last couple of times I used a slow-cooker.)

PRESSURE COOKER TEX-MEX BRISKET
Prep: 15 min, Marinate: 24:00, Cook: 1:10.

• 1 onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 Serrano chili, seeded and minced
• 1-1/2 Tbs. brown sugar
• 1 Tbs. chilli powder
• 1 Tbs. cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 3 lbs. beef brisket
• 1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable oil
• 1-1/4 cups canned Mexican style diced tomatoes
• 1 onion, cut into wedges

Combine first 7 ingredients and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub mixture over all sides of brisket and transfer meat to a glass dish. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 24-36 hours. Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium high heat. Cook meat uncovered 6-8 minutes, turning once to brown both sides. Add tomatoes, lifting meat to coat. Add onion wedges. Cover and bring to high pressure. Reduce heat and cook 1 hour at stabilized pressure. Release pressure. Slice meat across the grain. Serve defatted pan juices with meat.
