Instructions
Prepare the Oxtails
Rinse the oxtails under cold water, trim excess fat, and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Time: PT10M
Marinate in Butter and Seasonings
In a large bowl combine melted butter, olive oil, browning sauce, oxtail seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and all‑purpose pimento. Toss the oxtails until evenly coated. Let them sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Time: PT15M
Brown the Oxtails
Heat the Dutch oven over medium‑high heat. Add the marinated oxtails in a single layer and brown each side for about 5 minutes, turning once, until a deep mahogany crust forms.
Time: PT10M
Sauté Aromatics
Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and minced ginger to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the ginger becomes fragrant.
Time: PT5M
Add Liquids
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and sea salt. Stir gently to combine, making sure the pan sauce is incorporated.
Time: PT5M
First Oven Braise
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid (or foil) and place it in a pre‑heated oven at 350°F. Braise for 2 hours, until the meat is beginning to become tender.
Time: PT2H
Temperature: 350°F
Add Butter Beans and Continue Braising
Remove the pot, stir in the drained butter beans, then return the covered pot to the oven for an additional 2 hours, or until the oxtails are fall‑off‑the‑bone tender and the sauce has thickened.
Time: PT2H
Temperature: 350°F
Rest and Serve
Take the pot out of the oven, let the stew rest for 10 minutes before serving. Spoon generous portions onto plates and enjoy.
Time: PT10M
