  1. Rinse oxtails with water and vinegar and pat dry. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, allspice, dried thyme, paprika, and curry powder. Coat both sides of the oxtail pieces with the mixed spices.
  2. Set the pressure cooker on High Sauté and once it’s hot, add olive oil. Next, add your oxtail pieces to the pot, and sear until they are brown on each side.
  3. Remove the oxtail pieces afterward and place them in a bowl.
  4. Deglaze the pressure cooker by adding 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce to the pot. Take a wooden spoon or spatula and deglaze the pot by removing the brown bits at the bottom. Then add your vegetables (yellow onions, green onions, carrots, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions have softened.
  5. Add beef broth, soy sauce, ketchup, and oxtails to the pressure cooker.
  6. Cover the pressure cooker, seal, and cook on high pressure for 45-50 minutes. Once the timer is done, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release.
  7. Open the lid and remove oxtails, leaving the liquid behind. Turn Pressure Cooker on sauté. Once the liquid begins to simmer, in a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and water together to create a slurry. Stir into the simmering stew. Add tomato paste, and browning, stir together.
