Brisket
Set Instant Pot to Sauté and add oil. Season brisket with salt and pepper and sear in batches, reserving seared pieces to a clean plate.
Add onion, garlic and chipotle to the pot and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste and sauté one more minute, followed by beef broth and brown sugar. Bring to a boil while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
Return brisket to simmering liquid, affix lid and set instant pot to Pressure-Cook High for 1 hour. Allow to naturally depressurize for 20 minutes before using manual release valve. Toast bread while waiting to depressurize.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place on a baking sheet with buttered side up and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, flip bread slices and top four with American cheese (two slices each) and four with pepper jack (two slices each).
Using two forks, shred brisket and divide among the American cheese topped toast. Complete sandwich with pepper jack bread slices and place back in oven 5 minutes, flip each sandwich and bake an additional five minutes.
