Notes on Pressure Cooker Oxtails

It’s best if all your oxtails are medium sized oxtails that are similar in size. If you can’t get them the same size, no worries. It’ll still work.

Oxtail that is too fatty will lead to fatty gravy. You want some fat, just not too much fat. If you’re oxtail is extremely fatty, use a paring knife to remove some of the excess fat.

Scotch Bonnet is typically used for this recipe. If you can’t find a scotch bonnet, a habanero can be substituted. You could also use about 1-2 tsp of this scotch bonnet pepper sauce.
