Authentic Jamaican Oxtail Recipe
Oxtail is a traditional Jamaican dish that is loved for its hearty flavor. Slow-cooked to perfection, it becomes incredibly tender and infused with delicious spices. Here’s how you can recreate this famous recipe in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs oxtail, cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 4 cups beef broth (or water)
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the oxtail pieces and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the oxtail and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Return the oxtail to the pot and add the scallions, thyme, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir everything together.
- Add the red kidney beans, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, allspice, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the oxtail is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the oxtail is tender. If necessary, add more broth or water during cooking to keep the meat covered.
- Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the oxtail hot, ideally with rice and peas or mashed potatoes.
