Ingredients
🐂 Oxtails (about 2 lbs)
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🍬 2 tablespoons brown sugar
🥢 1/4 cup soy sauce
🥫 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
🍅 2 large tomatoes, chopped
🧅 1 large onion, diced
🌶️ 1 bell pepper, sliced
🌿 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
🌶️ 1 habanero pepper, finely chopped (optional, adjust to taste)
💧 3 cups hot water
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1- Marinate the Oxtails:
Season the oxtails with salt and pepper.
Allow them to marinate for about 2 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
2- Brown the Oxtails:
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar and stir until it begins to caramelize, taking on a golden-brown color.
Carefully add the marinated oxtails to the pan.
Brown them on all sides until well-seared and dark brown.
3- Flavor the Oxtails:
Pour in the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
Allow the liquids to coat the oxtails evenly.
4- Add Vegetables:
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, diced onion, sliced bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and habanero pepper.
Mix everything together so that the flavors combine well.
5- Simmer the Oxtails:
Add the hot water, ensuring the oxtails are partially submerged.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for about 3 hours.
Occasionally stir and check the liquid level, adding more hot water if necessary to prevent sticking.
6- Serving Suggestions:
- Once the oxtails are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, serve them hot over steamed rice or with your favorite side dishes.
