    Hong Kong Braised Beef Brisket

    Chinese braised beef brisket daikon dish is a recipe I grew up with. Whenever I visit Hong Kong, Asia, I hunt for the perfect bowl of beef brisket noodles at Chinese restaurants. Noodle houses often advertise that their beef brisket is their specialty - especially their sauce. 

    Hong Kong-style beef brisket is different from Jewish brisket recipes or the American BBQ BBQ brisket recipes. Cantonese braised beef recipe is comfort food. It is tender and gelatinous with chunky daikon radishes in a flavourful Chu Hou Sauce. 

    Recreating this dish at home has always been my dream, but I hate having to stew the tendons for HOURS! Luckily, I can shortcut my way with this easy Instant Pot Braised Beef with Radish pressure cooker method. It only takes 30 minutes to cook! Cooking Cantonese style Chinese beef brisket recipe in slow cooker a long time.

    You can fill a table with Chinese classics meals like Braised Chinese Mushroom 髮菜炆冬菇 and Red Bean Soup 紅豆沙, creating an easy dinner your family will enjoy! I bought my Instant Pot from Amazon, and it was delivered the next day with Amazon Prime!

    Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Beef

    Anyway, anyone with a busy schedule or who cares for babies needs this in their life! Without this Instant Pot pressure cooker, I can not imagine cooking with my baby! It is so easy to use and is such a time saver!

    I often like to deliberately cook extra - store a portion in the fridge for lunch the next day, make it into noodle soup, and freeze a portion to make it into a healthy Asian meal prep to eat later in the week.

    What Best Cut of Beef To Use For Braised Brisket?

    Now that I am officially on the Instant Pot party train recreating the 

    most amazing brisket recipe with daikon in the pressure cooker is easy!

    The flat-cut beef rough flank (Niú nǎn in Mandarin or Ngau lam in Cantonese) is the best beef cut for this slow cooking process. Although it is a rough flank full of connective tissues, it also has a layer of fat protecting the lean meat making this meat super tender after braising! 

    Some people opt of finger meat aka boneless short rib 牛坑腩 - the finger-like strips between the individual beef ribs. Tendering and marinating finger meat is an immensely satisfying beef finger meat recipe. 

    Remember to trim off excess fat as much as possible. By trimming excess fat, you will avoid a greasy dish or the need to skim off a layer of fat from the beef stew at the end of cooking.

    Tenderizing Beef Rough Flank in an Instant Pot

    One of the questions we always get is how long it takes to cook brisket in an Instant Pot? A general rule of thumb is to plan on 45 to 60 minutes per pound cooking beef brisket on the stovetop. 

    Since it is a pretty tough cut of meat full of sinewy tendons, you will need hours to render that delicious soft texture. However, when you cook braised beef brisket in the Instant Pot, you only need a fraction of the time.

    This shortcut pressure cooker method only takes 30 minutes to achieve that fork-tender braised brisket. Because who really wants to cook beef brisket for six hours? 

    How Do I Make My Brisket Tender?

    The Instant Pot is so unique. It helps tenderize, soften, and stew even the most challenging cut of meat in minutes! The high-pressure cooker temperature will break down the beef briskets' connective tissues, transforming and softening a tough brisket into tender, juicy meaty bites.

    What is Chu Hou Sauce 柱侯醬?

    The secret sauce in the infamous Cantonese Instant Pot braised beef brisket and tendons with daikon radish is Chu Hou Sauce (柱侯醬, zhù hóu jiàng). 

    So what is Chu Hou Sauce or Chu Hou Paste? The Chu Hou Paste recipe combines fermented soybean sauce similar to Hoisin sauce but with different seasonings such as sesame paste and fermented bean curd. This ingredient also varies by brand. 

    This convenient cooking staple is excellent for braising meats when paired with garlic and ginger.

    What is Chu Hou Sauce Substitute?

    If you can not find Chu Hou Sauce, you can substitute hoisin sauce. However, it is not the same. We like the savoury umami flavours of Lee Kum Kee's Chu Hou Sauce. In addition, it has a nice consistency of sweet, creamy texture. I usually just buy Lee Kum Kee paste which can be found at any local Asian supermarket.

    Chinese Style Instant Pot Braised Beef Brisket and Tendon Cooking Tips

    Before cooking the brisket and tendons, always remember to parboil and blanch the brisket and tendons in a big pot of boiling water to remove the impurities for approximately 5 minutes. Rinse off the white foam from the parboiled meat under cold water.

    Cut the beef brisket and tendons into small cubes approximately 3 inches thick. The meat will shrink a lot in size after being braised. If the tendons are still too tough to cut, you can place it whole into the Instant Pot and cut it afterwards.

    In a non-stick or wok, heat oil at medium-high heat (or Saute mode in the Instant Pot - when Instant Pot reaches the given working temperature, it displays "Hot" and you can start sautéing).

    First, add aromatics like garlic, ginger and shallots and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Once you smell the fragrant aromatics, it is time to brown the meat.

    Next, add beef brisket, beef tendons and Chu Hou Paste into the wok or Instant Pot. Mix well with kitchen tongs. Once all the brisket and tendons are evenly coated with Chu Hou Paste, remove from wok and put into the Instant Pot.

    Add in stewing marinate ingredients such as Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, star anise, bay leaves, water and rock sugar. 

    Pro Tip: Did you know that adding rock sugar helps soften the beef briskets?

    Close and lock the Instant Pot cover and set pressure cook on high for 30 minutes followed by quick release.* 

    This traditional Chinese braised beef brisket daikon recipe is not complete without radishes. 

    Similarly, while the beef briskets are cooking in the pressure cooker, wash and cube the daikon radish 2 inches thick.

    Open the Instant Pot cover and add daikon into the Instant Pot. Mix well with the beef briskets and tendons. Evenly coat with the liquid sauce.

    After that, close and lock the Instant Pot cover and set pressure cook on high for 5 minutes followed by quick release. 

    In the meantime, while the daikon is cooking, mix together chicken stock or water and cornstarch in a small sauce bowl. 

    Open the Instant Pot lid and set it to Saute mode. Bring the beef stew to a nice simmer. Add the above-prepared cornstarch slurry into the stew and stir into the stew to thicken. Simmer for 2 minutes to desired consistency.

    Garnish with heaps of cilantro and scallions. 

    Serve and enjoy over white jasmine rice or soupy noodles.

      Just cooked this recipe using 3 lbs of brisket only so proportionally reduce other ingredients.
      mixed pressure cooking for 10 minutes then slow cooked for 3.5 hours. All good but I would reduce the amount water to 50% as specified to keep the flavour more intense and no so soupy when cooking is finished.

        Yes you can totally reduce the water to your desired consistency! I usually recook it the next day, so it works out perfectly for soup broth as well 🙂
