THE BEST STEW OXTAILS || TERRI-ANN’S KITCHEN AND BUTTER BEANS

oxtails

🥗Healthier: beef shank

💰Cheaper: pork shanks

Pork shanks are often more affordable and can provide a similar texture.

Season oxtails with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon adobo seasoning, 1 tablespoon complete seasoning, and 1 tablespoon curry powder.

Mix the seasonings well and set aside for 1-2 hours to marinate.

In a Dutch pot, heat 1 tablespoon to 1.5 tablespoons of oil and add 1 tablespoon of sugar to caramelize.

Once the sugar is caramelized, add the seasoned oxtails and stir to coat them in the caramelized sugar.

Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add 3-4 cups of water to the pot to deglaze and cover again.

Let it slow cook for 1.5 hours.

After 1.5 hours, check tenderness and add fresh seasonings: spring onions, thyme, and garlic.

Cook for another 20 minutes before adding butter beans.

Add butter beans and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
