1

Season oxtail with all-purpose seasoning, chopped onions, and salt; stir together and cover to allow it to release its juices.

2

Once the oxtail has released its juices, add water to the pot.

3

Prepare vegetables: chop green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic, then place them in the oven to bake.

4

Check on the oxtails; once tender, shallow fry them in coconut oil to pick up flavor.

5

Set the fried oxtails aside and check on the baked veggies; they should have cooked down.

6

Add habanero peppers to the baked veggies (do not bake these) for intense flavor.

7

Transfer the baked veggies to a blender and blend until smooth.

8

In a pot, add coconut oil and chopped onions; fry until translucent.

9

Add tomato paste and green marinade to the pot, stirring until melted and frying for about 8 minutes until it separates.

10

Add the blended vegetable mixture to the pot and stir; allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes.

11

Add beef stock to the pot and stir; simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, cooking slowly to avoid burning.

12

Add the oxtails to the pot, stir, cover, and allow to simmer until oil settles on top, indicating the stew is ready.
