OXTAIL STEW RECIPE 🇬🇧🇬🇾🙏♥️

oxtail

🥗Healthier: beef shank

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth reduces fat content while still adding flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

bay leaves

🥗Healthier: dried basil

💰Cheaper: oregano

Oregano is a cost-effective herb that adds a similar aromatic quality.

Wash oxtail thoroughly in lime juice and vinegar.

Season and marinate the oxtail with paprika, Browning sauce, soy sauce, green seasoning, Italian seasoning, complete seasoning, cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed pimento berries.

Mix the seasonings into the oxtail using clean hands and rub well into the meat.

Cover the marinated oxtail and refrigerate for about an hour (or overnight for better flavor).

Sear the marinated oxtail in a pan with oil until browned and golden.

Pour hot water over the seared oxtail and let it boil on low heat until tender.

Add thyme and crushed pimento berries to the pot and continue to boil until the oxtail is more tender.

Add garlic, onions, ginger, red and green bell peppers to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Incorporate carrots, thyme, Scotch bonnet pepper, and butter beans into the pot.

Add brown sugar to balance flavors and mix everything well.

Let the oxtail stew cook until all ingredients are combined and flavors meld together.
