Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 1-1/2 pound to 2 pound brisket
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or Tamari Gluten-Free Soy Sauce for Reintroduction)
- 32 ounces Ocean’s Halo Brand Pho broth* or Beef Bone Broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 zucchini spiraled into “zoodles” or pre-cut ”noodles”i
- 5 ounce package fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 3 to 4 multi-colored carrots, sliced
- Scallions, sliced
- Jalapeno peppers
- Fresh basil Leaves, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Sriracha, as desired
- *To keep the recipe Whole30 compatible, choose the beef bone broth. The Pho broth contains cane sugar, therefore it is not compatible.
Method
- Trim off any silvery skin from the brisket.
- Heat the instant pot on the sauté setting, add the avocado oil and sear the meat on both sides, season with salt and pepper.
- Add sliced onion, garlic and chopped ginger and sauté.
- Add the dried shiitake mushrooms, Pho or bone broth, coconut aminos and fish sauce. Give it a quick stir and make sure the meat is submerged.
- Reset the instant pot to cook on high for 45 minutes. Quick release the steam once cook time is completed.
- Remove the brisket to a cutting board. Allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice at a 45º angle to make wide, thin slices. Set aside, covered to keep from drying.
- Add the sliced carrots and fresh shiitake mushrooms. Reseal the lid and steam valve, and set the timer for 8 minutes.
- Quick release once again, stir the meat back into the pot to warm through.
- Place the zucchini “zoodles” in large serving bowls, ladle the broth and vegetables over the zucchini. The heat from the broth is just enough to wilt them without overcooking.
- Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg if desired, add fresh cilantro, basil, sliced jalapeños and scallions or whatever you prefer. Serve right away.
