- Do not overcrowd the instant pot, this will allow even browning.
- Once all the oxtail is browned and on the plate, add and saute garlic, onions, carrots, potatoes and bell peppers for about 3 minutes. Allow the vegetables to get coated in the oxtail juice at the bottom of the instant pot.
- Turn the instant pot off and activate the pressure cooker option on high for 25 minutes.
