Description
Oxtail is a flavourful and satisfying meat that comes from the tail of cattle. It's one of the most economical cuts of meat, with a rich, earthy flavour that pairs well with darker sauces and spices. Oxtail is especially popular in stews, soups, and stir fries.
Oxtail is a favorite among many people. The popularity of the meat has extended far beyond Jamaican cuisine. In fact, you'll find it is being enjoyed throughout the world—in soups in West Africa, South America, Spain and China; in Indonesian cuisine too. It is also an excellent source of iron, protein, and B vitamins. Oxtail can be used as a substitute for beef in recipes.

Recipe for Jamaican Oxtail
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 ½ pounds oxtail
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tbsp garlic and herb seasoning
- ¼ tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper

- 3 c. low-sodium beef broth
- 1 bunch fresh thyme

Instructions
STEP 1
In a shallow dish, place oxtail. Mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, sugar, garlic and herb seasoning, browning sauce, paprika and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the oxtail with the marinade; pour out excess.
STEP 2
In a large, deep skillet, heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtail in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan to a small plate.
STEP 3
Take the skillet and saute carrots, celery and onion until soft.
STEP 4
Then add beef broth, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
STEP 5
Add oxtail with its juices and butter on top of it; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until oxtail is fork-tender.
STEP 6
When the skillet begins to heat, uncover it and increase the heat to high. Stir every now and then until the sauce reduces and thickens (about 5 minutes).
