The Best Caribbean Oven Baked Oxtail Stew Ever

Preparation time: 25 mins + marinade overnight
Cooking time: 4 hours 18 mins
Total time: 4 hours 43 mins
Temperature: 175C
Ingredients:
1 3/4 Lb of Oxtail
1 tin butterbeans
1 small carrot (optional)
2 medium red onions (us whatever onion you have to hand)
4 medium sized cloves of garlic (use less if you prefer or omit if you don’t like)
1/ 2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion granules
1 teaspoon of garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Sazon seasoning
1/2 teaspoon of Brazilian seasoning mix with Paprika (optional but I love this added layers of spice mix)
1 heaped tablespoon oxtail seasoning (in the video I said it was all purpose but its Oxtail seasoning)
1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
Thyme (use a good amount)
3 spring onions (2 chopped and one bruised)
2 small scotch bonnets (1 is fine)
1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
Pimento (about 8)
1 tablespoon green seasoning (optional but adds bags of flavour)
1 tablespoon olive oil (to brown the oxtail)
1/4 green, yellow and red bell peppers chopped
1 medium tomato chopped
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
1/2 tablespoon sweet baby ray’s BBQ sauce
1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of tamarind paste (my secret ingredient and totally optional but oh so awesome)
1 beef stock (I used a rich and dark one. You can use just water)
1/4 teaspoon liquid Maggi
A good dash of hot pepper sauce (I used Jamaican scotch bonnet sauce)
Note:
You can cook the Oxtail straight after seasoning it but, if you can, let it marinade so the flavour can develop and you will end up with something divine. You will note that I did not add any salt as some of the seasoning and sauces contain salt.
We are keeping the sodium low here.
After 3 hours the oxtail was really soft but I wanted it to melt in the mouth. The bones were also very chewable if you so incline to nibble at it. My grandmother told me all the good flavours lie within and I totally get her now as an adult! Of course you don’t have to chew on the bones just enjoy the meat!
You will not be disappointed all I ask is that you give it a go and let me know how you like it. I am schedule to cook it again this coming week because it was so darn good....yes sir!!!!
On another note, you can cook this on the stove top instead of the oven. This suited me fine as I had some errands to run and was able to leave it on in the oven while I was out for a couple of hours and why it was important to cook it at a low temperature and enough stock/water to prevent it from drying out.
I served the oxtail with Gungo rice and peas steamed callow with okra, fried plantain and homemade coleslaw and of course some carrot juice. It was heavenly, delicious. I could have licked the plate clean but I am a ladyX
