Instant Pot Ilonggo Pata or Ilonggo Beef stew

As Ilonggo, Pata Cansi is my favorite soup since I was a kid. Lola Dading makes a good Pata. I also help my nanay to make this dish. Oxtail, ox tongue and bone marrow are my favorite part. When I was still in the Philippines, I ate Pata at least twice a day. We usually boil this for at least 4 to 6 hrs in a very big pot inorder  to have a good broth and soft meat. We usually use Beef shank with Bone marrow (utok), ox tail (ikog), ox tongue, feet (siki) and skin (panit). Batuan(Garcinia Morella) and libas leaves (june plum leaves) are the 2 most important ingredients to have a good broth but they are not available in the US. I’m using sinigang mix or tamarind soup base as an alternative for making a sour soup. Green jackfruit (langka nga hilaw) and chili pepper (katumbal) are not included in my recipe because I don’t like to eat those.
