Sup Buntut is a very popular dish in Indonesian cuisine. It is originally made of slices of fried oxtail, served in vegetable soup with beef broth. It contains boiled potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, leek, celery and fried shallots. The main spices used to season the soup is nutmeg and clove along with fried shallots that enhance the flavour of the soup.
I normally don't fry the oxtail as I simplified the cooking method by boiling the oxtail until the meat is tender. Cooking for young children, I always opt for no-fry method. And, this method produce very tender and juicy meat.
There are 2 ways to get this done:
1. Use conventional pot to boil the oxtail. Click here for recipe.
2. Use pressure cooker to cook the oxtail. Cooking time is shorten from 4 hours to 45 minutes to tenderise the meat. The meat is so tender, remain juicy and flavourful. And, this is the recipe I'm sharing in this blog.
