Soak the honeycomb tripe for about 30 minutes, wash it well, boil for 15 minutes, and drain.

Season the beef shank with olive oil and spices.

Add thyme, parsley, rosemary, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Pour in hot water and pressure cook for 30 minutes.

Let the Instant Pot natural pressure release for about 20 minutes, then quick release the rest of the way.

Remove the bones from the soup, leaving the meat and broth.
