As we finish up fall and move into winter, I feel like the “turbo charge” button has been pushed on my family’s busy schedule . . . along with an insatiable hunger to fuel it. I need hearty yet healthy meals that don’t required me to devote and entire day in the kitchen whip up “good muscle-making grub,” as my teen boys would but it. Beef is always at the top of their request list and my recipe for Ancho Apple Cider Brisket for Instant Potor  is a simple, speedy and satisfying solution to their “what’s for dinner” demands.

Ancho Apple Cider Brisket in Instant Pot - make a hearty, healthy beef dinner for your family in just 1 1/2 hours (45 minutes cooking time, 45 minutes instant pot pressure and release time). Spices are seared on before cooking for maximum flavor and a sweet-savory finishing sauce is made with cooking liquids. So yummy and a great solution for busy day meals.
