Close the Instant Pot lid and lock it securely; set the valve to sealing position.
04 -
Select 'Stew/Meat' setting and cook under high pressure for 75 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 20 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
05 -
Transfer brisket to a foil-lined baking sheet, fat side up. Spread spicy mustard over the top. Broil on low setting about 8-10 inches from heat source until well caramelized, approximately 2-3 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Cooking time depends on brisket thickness rather than weight; adjust accordingly if thickness varies.
02 -
For reheating, wrap slices in foil and warm in oven at 350°F (177°C) to maintain juiciness.
