Oxtail in the Instant Pot

[Barriehie]

I found a butcher selling oxtail for around $4/lb. which is *way* cheaper than the usual markets!

So, straight from the freezer at 0°F, I've got 1 lb. of oxtail comprising 2 pieces in the IP.

To this is added 1 1/2 cups boiling water with 1/2 Tbsp of Better Than Bouillon brand beef Bouillon dissolved in and then salt and pepper to taste last in/sprinkled on top.

Set the IP. These pieces were about the size, roughly, of a tennis ball. Larger ones will take longer.

Natural pressure release. The meat is just about falling off the bone but not quite. Easy enough with a fork.

Used the cooking broth to make mushroom and black pepper gravy.

Served with the rice on the side.
