  • Paprika – 1/4 tsp
  • Black Pepper – 1/4 tsp

  • Vegetable Oil – 2 tbsp
  • Carrot – 2, chopped
  • Celery – 2 Stalks, chopped
  • Red/White Onion – 1, chopped
  • Garlic – 4 Cloves, rushed
  • Beef Stock – 3 Cups
  • Fresh Thyme – 1 Bunch
  • Rosemary – 1 Sprig
  • Bay Leaf – 1
  • Butter (unsalted) – 2 tbsp, at room temperature
  • Garlic & Herb Seasoning – 1 tbsp
  • Brown Sauce – 1 tsp
  • Method

    – In a bowl, mix the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, garlic and herb seasoning, brown sauce, sugar, paprika, and both peppers to create a paste.

    – Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-friendly pot over high heat, and sear the oxtail on all sides until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Remove the oxtail from the pot and set aside.

    – In the same pot, sauté the carrots, garlic, celery, and onion until they begin to go soft, approximately 5 minutes.

    – Add the broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf and bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, add the oxtail and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot, and allow the mixture to simmer for 3 hours, or until the oxtail is completely tender and falling apart.

    – Remove the lid and bring the heat back up to medium. Stir mixture from time to time and wait for the stew to thicken, which should take around 5 minutes. Once the stew’s consistency is to your liking, it is ready to serve.

    – This is best enjoyed Jamaican style, poured over warm rice and peas or baked plantains.
