Instant Pot Oxtail Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Toss oxtails in the mixture until well coated.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Allow to heat up. Add vegetable oil to the hot pot and lay oxtail pieces inside, flat side down. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of beef broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add carrots, onion, green onions, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper. Stir and saute until onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails, remaining beef broth, ketchup, and thyme. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove oxtails and vegetables from the pot, leaving liquid behind. Select Saute function and bring liquid to a simmer. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into the simmering liquid. Add pinto beans and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and beans are warmed, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails and vegetables back to the pot, and mix to combine.

Steps:

• Turn the instant pot to saute and add the oil. Sear the oxtail on all sides. Move them around to get a nice sear. Season with salt and Pepper.
• Turn off the saute and add the wine and scrap up any bits on the bottom. Add the beef stock, carrots, celer, onion, garlic, and tomato paste. Stir well. Throw in the bay leaves.
• Secure the lid and pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. Let the steam release naturally. Open the lid. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large saucepan or bowl. Place the solids back into the pot and remove the bay leaves. Place the liquid in a grease separater and drain it back into the pot but leave the fat in the fat separater and discard. Stir the stew and serve.
