A rich and flavorful Jamaican oxtail dish, simmered to perfection with a blend of spices, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 lbs oxtail
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp pimento (allspice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Water (enough to cover oxtails)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping your onions, mincing the garlic, and slicing the carrots. Having everything ready to go makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
  2. Brown the Oxtails: In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Add the oxtails and brown them on all sides.
  3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Once the oxtails are beautifully browned, remove them from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the browned oxtails back to the pot along with the fresh thyme, sliced carrots, pimento, brown sugar, soy sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Add Water and Bring to a Boil: Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients by about an inch. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Simmer and Tenderize: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let everything simmer gently for approximately two hours.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the oxtail generously over fluffy rice or alongside steamed dumplings. Drizzle the sauce over the top.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the oxtail overnight. Serve with rice and peas or fried plantains.
