Oxtail Stew (Instant Pot)

I’m a huge fan of oxtails. When properly cooked, the meat falls right off the bone. The problem is that they take forever to cook…unless you use the Instant Pot. They can take 6-8 hours if you use a slow cooker to prepare. In an Instant Pot, the oxtails take 50 minutes. That’s it. Add the vegetables the last 10 minutes. You can serve the oxtail soup as is or over rice with a salad and avocado.
