Braised Oxtail (Pressure Cooker)
In this recipe, slices of oxtail and diced vegetables are braised in red wine. In the pressure cooker it takes only about 40-45 minutes for the meat to become tender. I like the flavorful oxtail meat.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs / 1kg oxtail
- freshly ground pepper, salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
