Low carb and Atkins friendly, this keto beef brisket will be a hit with the entire family! Dairy free, nut free, egg free too. Rub brisket on all sides with bbq seasoning. Heat oil in Instant Pot on Saute function. Place the seasoned brisket into the pot and sear for 3 minutes per side.
Start with one whole brisket – 7-10 lbs. Use Choice grade instead of Select (Standard) so that the meat gets tender without being flaky and dry. Trim the fat cap to ¼” thick. Then, score the fat in 3/8” squares, like a waffle. This allows the rub, heat, and smoke to penetrate into the meat.
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over the brisket, patting it down all over the meat. Heat the avocado oil over medium high heat in a Dutch oven.
Coat beef brisket with mustard. Cover with brisket rub. Let marinate in the refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Remove brisket from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat a smoker to 220 degrees F (104 degrees F) according to manufacturer's instructions.
