Oxtail Meal Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Season and Marinate Oxtail

   In a large bowl, season the oxtail with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and allspice. Add the Scotch bonnet pepper for heat. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Sear the Oxtail

   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated oxtail and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the oxtail and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the oxtail to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours or until the oxtail is tender.

5. 5

   Prepare Rice & Peas

   In a separate pot, cook 1 cup of rice with 1 can of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, 1 can of red kidney beans, and a pinch of salt. Simmer until rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

6. 6

   Steam the Cabbage

   While the oxtail and rice are cooking, steam fresh cabbage until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the oxtail over rice and peas, accompanied by steamed cabbage.
