I'm 1% Jamaican and I Show you my Jamaican Oxtail Stew Recipe

oxtail

🥗Healthier: beef shank

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are more affordable and still provide a rich flavor.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon

Bouillon is a cost-effective way to add flavor.

Wash oxtail twice in vinegar, salt, and lime; set aside.

Season oxtail with salt and black pepper; add to a bowl with chopped shallots, garlic, onions, ginger, green onion, scotch bonnet, and thyme.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of hot chili powder, 1.5 tablespoons of ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon of salt to the oxtail mixture.

Pour in 0.5 cup of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of browning sauce; mix well to combine.

Let the oxtail marinate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.

In a pot, add 2 liters of water, onions, garlic, and ginger; bring to a boil.

Add the marinated oxtail to the pot; simmer on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until it thickens.

Prepare rice by washing it three times; add 3 cups of rice to a pot with water up to the first knuckle of your finger.

Add coconut milk and salt to the rice; cook until rice is tender.

Add canned lima beans to the oxtail stew; stir and let simmer until everything is cooked through.
