The Instant Pot: Korean Style Braised Oxtail

Well, this is just delicious. Also, oxtail usually takes hours to cook to perfection, and now, thanks to my amazing Instant Pot, I have achieved melt-in-your-mouth fall-off-the-bone oxtail in slightly over an hour. What?? Yes.

Here’s what to do:

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs oxtail
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into chunks
  • 2 carrots, cut into dimes
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1″ chunk of ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili sauce)
  • scallions for serving

Preparation:

  1. Brown oxtail in a skillet. You can use the Instant Pot but there’s too much oxtail and you want it done right, so just suck it up and use the skillet.
  2. Transfer to Instant Pot
  3. Mix remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl (not scallions) and pour over the oxtail.
  4. Set on manual for 1 hour, or press the Meat setting and then adjust it up to an hour.
  5. Use the 10 minute quick release method. Serve over brown rice and sprinkle with scallions.

Eat.
