Step 1

Have your butcher cut it in thick 3-4-inch segments. Trim away any extra fat you can. Be careful and hold the oxtail with a towel and with a sharp knife cut down. Leave some fat on as this is where the flavor comes from and it is difficult to remove all.

Step 2

Dry your oxtails well with a paper towel. Make sure your oxtails come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to allow them to cook evenly.

Step 3

Season the oxtail well with salt and pepper on both sides. Set the pressure cooker on the high sauté setting. Add olive oil to the pressure cooker. Sear and brown the beef oxtail in your instant pot (pressure cooker). Use the sauté function on high and brown on all side or about 2-3 minutes on each side. Do NOT overcrowd your pressure cooker. Cook in batches. Remove your browned oxtail from the pressure cooker.

Step 4

Sauté the chopped onion, carrot and celery (soffritto) and garlic until translucent in the instant pot. Add, wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pressure cooker to get all those delicious bits off the bottom of the pressure cooker. Then add tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves and season to taste. Place the browned oxtail back into the pressure cooker with the delicious tomato wine broth. Add fresh or dried herbs on top. I used 1 teaspoon of dried mixed Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, etc). Seal the lid to your pressure cooker, make sure the vent is off and sealed and set to high pressure cook for 45 minutes. Once time is up, allow the pressure cooker to do a natural release for 15 minutes and then vent and release steam. BE CAREFUL💚

Step 5

GREMOLATA: In a small bowl mix chopped parsley, lemon and orange zests and grated garlic. Set aside. While your stew is cooking, you can make a risotto Milanese, polenta, mashed potatoes or even egg noodles. Remove the cooked beef oxtail from the pressure cooker. Set your pressure cooker to sauté setting for about 15 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half and is thick and rich. Skim any excess fat with a paper towel before serving. Serve your delicious oxtail osso buco over risotto, polenta, mashed potatoes or even noodles. Garnish with lots of gremolata. Enjoy! WATCH ON TIKTOK💚👩🏽‍🍳
