Method

Oxtails

  1. 1

    Prepare Oxtails

    Season oxtails with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtails on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make Gravy

    Pour in beef broth, add brown sugar, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add chopped carrots and celery to the pot. Stir to mix all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until oxtails are tender and meat is falling off the bone.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve oxtails with the gravy over rice.

Rice

    Cook Rice

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 9

    Fluff Rice

    Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Fixin
