SOUTHERN-STYLE OXTAILS

Steps:

• Wash the oxtails with warm water and place in a heavy stainless-steel pot. Add the onions, peppers, beef and chicken bases, garlic powder, salt, browning sauce, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cover the oxtails by three-quarters with water. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, adding more water if necessary, until the oxtails are tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
• Wash the oxtail pieces and pat dry with kitchen paper. Trim off as much excess fat as possible. Put the flour in a freezer bag and season well with salt and pepper. Put half the oxtail pieces into the seasoned flour, toss well to coat then set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining oxtail pieces.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan. Brown the oxtail over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning every now and then, until dark brown all over. You may need to add extra oil if the pan looks dry at any point during the browning step. Put the browned oxtail into a flameproof casserole dish. (You may need to do this in batches.)
• Return the frying pan to a low heat and add the onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Add a little extra oil if necessary. Cook gently for 10 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
• Tip the vegetables on top of the beef and add the thyme and bay leaves. Stir in the wine, beef stock and tomato purée. Season with salt and pepper, put the casserole on the heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook in the centre of the oven for 3 hours. Stir after 1½ hours, turning the oxtail in the sauce.
• After 3 hours, the meat should be falling off the bone and the sauce should be thick. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and transfer the oxtail pieces to a plate, set aside and keep warm.
• Skim any fat that has pooled on the surface of the sauce.
• Divide the oxtail pieces between six warmed plates and spoon over the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley, if using, and serve with mashed potato and steamed vegetables.

• Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until tender, or about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the carrots and the tomatoes with their juice.
• Add the broth, ginger, salt, ground red pepper, and allspice. Bring to a boil.
• Stir in the browned oxtails.
• Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Bake until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer oxtails to a warm platter. Skim and discard fat from pot liquid. Pour juice over meat and serve. Enjoy!

HOW TO COOK OXTAILS

Steps:

• Mix the garlic, tomato, scallions, vinegar, and seasonings in a large bowl. Put 4 cloves of minced garlic into the bowl along with 1 diced tomato, 1/2 cup (50 g) of sliced scallions, and 3 tablespoons (44 ml) of apple cider vinegar. Stir in: 1 tablespoon (3 g) of dried oregano 1 tablespoon (14 g) of seasoned salt 2 teaspoons (4 g) of curry powder 1 1/2 teaspoons (3 g) of dried thyme 1 teaspoon (2 g) of black pepper 1 pinch of ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon (6 g) of Spanish seasoning, such as Sazon
• Add 4 to 6 lb (1.8 to 2.7 kg) of oxtails and marinate them in the fridge. Place the oxtails in the bowl with the marinade and turn them so they're coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Marinate the oxtails overnight so they become flavorful. The marinade will also tenderize the oxtails as they chill.
• Heat 2 to 3 US tbsp (30 to 44 ml) of oil in a skillet with 1 teaspoon (4 g) of sugar. Pour the vegetable oil into a large pot or Dutch oven and turn the burner to medium-high. Once the oil shimmers, add the sugar and stir so it dissolves. Use less of the oil if you're cooking closer to 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of oxtails.
• Remove the oxtails from the marinade and lay them in the skillet. Take the bowl of marinating oxtails out of the fridge and use a slotted spoon or tongs to lift the oxtails out. Transfer them to the skillet with the oil. Arrange the oxtails so they're in a single layer in the skillet. Reserve the marinade so you can add it to the pot later.
• Cook the oxtails for 8 to 10 minutes. Sear the meat over medium-high heat until the oxtails brown on all sides. Use tongs to turn them halfway through the cooking time so they heat evenly. Browning the meat creates a rich, deep flavor.
• Add the marinade, beef stock, butter beans, salt, and pepper. Pour the reserved marinade into the pot along with 4 cups (950 ml) of beef stock. Open 1 15-ounce (425 g) can of butter beans and drain it before putting the beans in the pot. Add a little salt and pepper according to your taste and stir the mixture well.Tip: If you don't want to add the beans, leave them out or substitute a different type of bean.
• Simmer the covered oxtails for 2 to 3 hours. Bring the liquid to a boil and then turn the burner down to medium or medium-low so the liquid bubbles gently. Place the lid on the pot and cook the oxtails until they're so tender that the meat begins to fall off of the bone. Stir the oxtails occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer the oxtails to a serving dish. Use a slotted spoon to carefully scoop out the tender oxtails. Place them in a serving dish and set them aside while you thicken the sauce that's in the pot.
• Mix the cornstarch into water and whisk it into the pot. To make a thick gravy for the oxtails, put 1 tablespoon (7.5 g) of cornstarch into a small bowl with 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of cold water. Stir the mixture until the cornstarch dissolves and then whisk it into the pot. Keep whisking until the liquid thickens into gravy. If you want to leave the liquid thin, skip this step.
• Spoon the gravy over the oxtails. Turn off the burner and ladle the gravy over the oxtails in the serving dish. Consider serving them with steamed rice or crusty bread. You can refrigerate the leftover oxtails in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

EASY OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Mix oxtail, water, broth, onion, garlic, onion salt, salt, and pepper together in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat down to a simmer, and cook until meat falls from the bone, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Stir potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions into the pot. Cover and let simmer until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

OXTAILS

Steps:

• Wash the oxtails with the lemon juice. Place the oxtails in a large pot. Add enough water to completely cover.
• Make a marinade with the garlic, thyme, scallions, onions and allspice in a blender. Blend, then pour into the pot. Add the browning, paprika, seasoning salt, brown sugar and black pepper to the pot. Boil until the oxtails are tender, 3 to 4 hours. Remove the oxtails from the pot and separate the broth from the fat. Return the oxtails and broth to the pot. Finish off by adding the butter beans, carrots, ketchup, garlic granules and onion granules. Simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch into 1 cup water in a small bowl, then add it to the broth; simmer 3 minutes to thicken.

JAMAICAN OXTAIL

Steps:

• Place oxtail in a shallow dish. Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, sugar, garlic and herb seasoning, browning sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a small bowl. Rub both sides of oxtail with marinade; pour out excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear oxtail in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a small plate.
• Saute carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in the same skillet until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add oxtail, with its juices, and butter. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until oxtail is fork tender, about 3 hours.
• Uncover skillet and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.
