I had been wanting to make this dish for a while and finally decided to try it. The meat turns out super tender and the sauce is amazing.

Steps

2 hours

1

Clean and dry the meat. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Heat olive oil in the pressure cooker and brown the meat over high heat to seal in the juices. Remove the meat from the pot and add all the vegetables and the bay leaf to sauté.
2

Once the vegetables are softened, add the meat back in along with the wine. Let the alcohol evaporate, then add the broth. Close the lid, and when the pressure cooker starts to whistle, cook for 1 hour, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes, depending on the size of the meat pieces.
3

Let the pressure release and open the cooker. (You can also make this in a regular pot, but it will take 3 to 4 hours.) Remove the meat and blend all the vegetables to make the sauce. If you have too much sauce, reduce it. Return the meat to the pot and simmer briefly. Enjoy super tender and delicious oxtail! It's even tastier if you let it sit overnight. Hope you like it.
