Curry Beef Brisket

In the past, I would have a headache whenever I thought of stewing beef brisket, because firstly, it would take a long time to stew, and secondly, it might not be stewed until it was tender. Later I discovered that the pressure cooker is the key to stewing beef brisket. It can stew the beef brisket until it is soft, and beef brisket has become our home-cooked dish. The secret to making curry beef brisket tender and with a curry flavor is to stew it twice.
