I'm ready to never order ox tails at restaurants anymore! Pressure cooking ox tails is so easy and this method gives amazing results and is simply fool proof!

Ingredients:

• Stewed Tomatoes
• Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
• 1/2 cup Red Wine
• Salt
• Pepper
• 4-5 cloves of Garlic
• Couple sticks of Thyme

Instructions:

1) Pat super dry the Ox tails

2) Season very generously salt and pepper on all sides of the Ox tails
3) Splash generously Worcestershire sauce over the Ox tails

 
4) Heat pan to medium-high and throw in the gloves of garlic and thyme to season the surface

5) Once pan is hot enough, commence searing the Ox tails on all sides to a nice brown

6) Throw in the stewed tomatoes and the liquids (red wine and chicken stock)

7) Pressurize, lower heat to medium-low and set timer to 45 minutes!

8) Depressurize naturally or run the lid over cold running water
9) Let it rest for couple of minutes before serving!

Delicious Braised Fall-Off Bone Ox Tails!!

I think one of the best investments I've made so far in the kitchen was buying a Pressure Cooker! I got the stove-top one not the electric one after doing heavy researching on the pros and cons of each.

I haven't had ox tails in the longest time and I felt it was time to have it for dinner. The real magic is letting the pressure cooker do the heavy lifting. Anyone can make delicious fall-off ox tails with a pressure cooker!

I made a tomato-based red wine infused flavored ox tails.

Ingredients:

2-3 lbs of Ox Tails
1.5 cup of Red Wine
Water
1 can of Canned Tomatoes/Stewed Tomatoes
Tomato Paste
Worcestershire sauce
~10 Garlic Cloves
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

1) Bring ox tails to room temperature
2) Trim any unnecessary fat as there's a lot of fat (it'll be more obvious at the end)
3) Pat them super dry with paper towel
4) Season them with salt and pepper
5) Splash some Worcestershire sauce over it
6) Heat your pressure cooker to Medium-Medium High
7) Splash some oil (something that can handle high heat)
8) Throw in the garlic cloves to flavor the pressure cooker
9) Sear the ox tails all around so the juices will trap inside
10) Now add the remaining ingredients: Red Wine, Splash of Water, Tomato Paste, and Canned Tomatoes
11) Close the lid, set heat to HIGH, and pressurize!
[depending on the brand of pressure cooker you have, you want to bring your cooker to the highest pressure possible]
12) Once pressurized, set timer to 45 minutes or so and lower heat back to Medium/Medium-Low heat
13) Once time has elapsed, depressurize the cooker naturally or pour cold water over the lid!
14) Voila! The results!

Let me know how it goes for you! Good luck!
