Instant-Pot Korean Chile-Braised Brisket and Kimchi Coleslaw
If you're looking for a comforting Sunday meal, try this spicy but tender brisket. Gochujang, a very slightly sweet and powerfully spicy Korean chile paste, adds a more intense, complex bite than other hot sauces. If you can’t find gochujang, Sriracha makes a good though slightly less spicy substitute. And if you’re not a coleslaw fan, you can serve some kimchi or a salad on the side instead.

Bitter Greens Salad With Melted Cheese
Baking a salad might make you nervous, but a quick moment in the oven will only wilt the greens slightly and yet melt the cheese so that it cloaks the greens nicely.
