INSTANT POT® JAMAICAN OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Toss oxtails in the mixture until well coated.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Allow to heat up. Add vegetable oil to the hot pot and lay oxtail pieces inside, flat side down. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of beef broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add carrots, onion, green onions, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper. Stir and saute until onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails, remaining beef broth, ketchup, and thyme. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove oxtails and vegetables from the pot, leaving liquid behind. Select Saute function and bring liquid to a simmer. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into the simmering liquid. Add pinto beans and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and beans are warmed, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails and vegetables back to the pot, and mix to combine.

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear oxtails until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pot. Saute potatoes, onion, and carrots until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Mash garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a coarse paste in a mortar and pestle. Add garlic paste to the pot; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in green olives, bay leaves, sazon completa, sazon seasoning, and allspice. Pour in reserved marinade, tomato sauce, and chicken broth.
• Return oxtails to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until oxtails are fork tender and falling off the bone, about 4 hours.
