Sudado is a Colombian-Style Stew and is one of my favorite Colombian dishes. Both my mom and Mamita made sudado at least once per week using different types of meats. When I think of typical, traditional Colombian home cooking, there is nothing more traditional than sudado. We usually serve Colombian Sudados over white rice with avocado and a salad on the side. They are very easy to make, perfect to feed a crowd or for a simple weeknight dinner.
Having grown up in Colombia, fútbol/soccer was always prevalent in my life. My dad and uncles were huge soccer fans and I was exposed to the sport at early age. If my dad was not watching the game, he was listening to it on the radio. The whole family got together every Sunday at my grandmother’s house to watch the soccer games and eat. Mamita always made a traditional Colombian meal to feed her large family and while the guys were watching the soccer game and screaming, the woman were in the kitchen cooking and helping Mamita, while the children were outside playing. Those are some of the my best memories!
When Rumba meats asked me to participate in their summer fútbol/soccer campaign this year, I was very excited to share my grandmother’s Sudado de Cola (Colombian-Style Oxtail Stew) with you! This dish was one of Mamita’s favorite dishes to make on a Sunday with her family gathered together watching fútbol and socializing at her house in Medellín, Colombia.
I used my Instant Pot to make it, but you can use your slow cooker or a regular pot to make this dish. The meat should be tender and because this particular cut is tough, it needs to be cooked for quite a while. The Instant Pot cooks the oxtail faster than a regular pot, so I had this stew ready in less than 1 hour! I first cooked the meat and then added the vegetables closer to the end of the overall cooking process and the oxtail was very tender and the stew was delicious!

Sorry, but just too much fat for me (for both medical and choice reasons) I'll just stick to ajiaco or sancocho.

Doesn’t the frozen yuca neeed to be precooked? Thank you!

Hello!
I made this recipe yesterday and it was amazing! I did add corn on the cob and poured homemade sofrito on top for the last 5 minutes. I have also made your recipe in the crockpot and it is amazing too. Thank you:)

I'm looking for how to do this in crockpot instead. How long did you cook it? Anything else you did different in the crockpot versus this instant pot recipe? Thank you
