Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp kori powder
  • 2 tsp seasoning powder
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 whole diced tomatoes
  • 1 whole diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup carrot
  • ½ lb potatoes
  • 3 whole green onions
  • 4 lb oxtail
  • minced habanero pepper
  • salt
  • olive oil
Season the oxtail with thyme, paprika, curry powder, seasoning powder, minced habanero, minced garlic, salt and a little olive oil; massage in thoroughly.
Cover with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge at least 20 minutes, or overnight.
  • olive oil
  • onions
  • 2 whole bay leaves
Heat a little olive oil in a pot and fry the onions until translucent; add the two bay leaves for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant.
Frying the onions and bay leaves
Add the oxtails in a single layer touching the pot bottom; brown 10 minutes, flip and brown another 10, repeating until browned as desired.
  • cayenne pepper
  • diced onions
Add tomato paste, cayenne, diced tomatoes, diced onions, diced red bell pepper and the beef stock; mix well.
  • 6 cup beef stock
Cover and cook about an hour, stirring every 20 minutes so nothing burns; here about an hour and 20 minutes, keeping some texture in the meat (cook longer for fall-off-the-bone).
  • water
Add carrot and potatoes and a little water as the stew thickens; cover and cook about 15 minutes until the potato is tender.
Doneness, carrots and potatoes
Sprinkle on green onions and simmer another 5 minutes.
