Istruzioni

In bowl, mix brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, dried thyme, paprika and curry powder. Coat the oxtail pieces

Add oil and 2 tbsp butter to Instant Pot. Sauté on High. After 3 minutes of heating, add coated oxtail pieces and sear for 45-60 seconds on each side until lightly browned. Remove with when done and let sit on plate.

Add Worcestershire sauce and deglaze (scrape) pot. Add remaining butter and stir.

Add onion, scallions, carrots, pepper and other veggies and sauté for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute.

Pour broth and ketchup and stir. Return lightly browned oxtail pieces to pot. Pressure Cook or Manual at high for 45 minutes. When done, allow a 15 minutes natural release followed by a quick release.

Sauté high. Once bubbling, stir in the cornstarch slurry. After 30 seconds of bubbling, turn the pot off. Stir in tomato paste and gravy Master (if using) and beans and allow everything to rest for 3-5 minutes so the beans are heated and the gravy thickens nicely.

Serve over a rice of your choice!

Note

Add veggies such as mushroom, green beans, bell peppers, radish, and any other veggie you want when you put carrots. Can make perpetual stew by adding ground beef after finishing the oxtail. Can also sub with beef ribs or any other meat. Use garbanzo beans or any other beans at the end.
