Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jamaican-Style Oxtail Stew.
Step 1
To create a delicious oxtail dish that will impress your family and friends, start by gathering a large bowl and combining the oxtail with chopped onion, fresh thyme, browning sauce, scallions, a pinch of red pepper flakes, grated ginger, ground allspice, minced garlic, and bay leaves.
Step 2
Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight.
Step 3
This step is crucial for infusing the meat with rich flavors.
Step 4
When you're ready to cook, heat your pressure cooker over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the marinated oxtail to the pot, turning it occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and the juices start to flow, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Next, pour in 1 cup of beef broth along with some water.
Step 7
Secure the lid on the pot, following the manufacturer’s instructions for the pressure regulator.
Step 8
Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 2 and a half hours, allowing the oxtail to become tender.
Step 9
After that, stir in the remaining beef broth and a generous spoonful of tomato paste.
Step 10
Cover the pot again and seal it tightly.
Step 11
Turn the heat up to high until you see steam escaping steadily and hear a gentle whistling sound, which should take around 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 12
Once you reach that point, reduce the heat to low and let it cook until the oxtail is melt-in-your-mouth tender, which will take another 40 minutes to an hour.
Step 13
When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully unlock the lid.
Step 14
Now, it’s time to add the butter beans, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 15
Turn the heat back up to medium-high and let everything cook together for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare to serve this comforting dish!.
