🌶️🍖Jamaican Style Beef Oxtail Recipe🌶️🍖

Tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtail simmered low and slow in a rich, savory gravy 🤎

Made with bold Caribbean flavors, fresh herbs, and deep seasoning, this dish is pure comfort in every bite.

The meat is juicy, the sauce is packed with flavor, and every piece melts in your mouth. Paired with that glossy broth and soft onions… it’s giving homemade, hearty, and SO satisfying 😮‍🔥

This is one of those meals that tastes even better the next day!

✨ Perfect with rice, rice & peas, or just by itself

✨ Slow cooked for maximum flavor

✨ Cozy, filling, and worth the wait

🧾 Ingredients

* 2–3 lbs oxtail

* 1 can butter beans

* 1 onion (chopped)

* 3 cloves garlic (minced)

* 2 green onions

* 1 tsp thyme

* 1 tsp paprika

* 1 tsp allspice (pimento)

* 1 tbsp soy sauce

* 1 tbsp browning sauce (optional but 🔥)

* 1 tbsp ketchup

* 1 tsp sugar

* 1 Scotch bonnet pepper

(or habanero like I told you earlier 👀)

* 1 cup beef broth

* 1 carrot (sliced)

* Salt & pepper

* Oil for browning

👩‍🍳 Step-by-step (easy version)

1. Season + marinate (IMPORTANT)

Mix oxtail with:

* salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, allspice

* garlic, onion, green onion

* soy sauce, browning sauce

👉 Let sit at least 1 hour (overnight = BEST)

2. Brown the meat (don’t skip!)

* Heat oil in a pot

* Brown oxtail on all sides

👉 This gives that deep Jamaican flavor

3. Cook low & slow

* Add beef broth + ketchup + sugar

* Add whole scotch bonnet (don’t cut if you want less heat)

👉 Cover and simmer:

* Stovetop: 2.5–3 hours

* OR pressure cooker: ~45 minutes

4. Add extras

After meat is tender:

* Add carrots + butter beans

Cook another 15–20 mins

5. Thicken the gravy (optional)

* Let it simmer uncovered

OR

* Add a little cornstarch slurry

👉 You want it thick and glossy 😍

🍽️ Serve with

* Rice and peas 🍚

* White rice

* Fried plantains

🔥 Tips (these matter)

* Don’t rush it → oxtail NEEDS time

* Keep pepper whole for flavor without too much heat

* Browning sauce = that dark rich color (worth it)

❤️ Real talk

This is one of those dishes that:

👉 tastes EVEN BETTER the next day

Savory Oxtail
The meat literally falls right off the bone! The oxtail becomes tender, savory, and packed with flavor influenced by African and Caribbean cuisine. Also just a reminder that this is not Jamaican oxtail! I posted that recipe back in October. I also wanted this recipe to be as low-effort as possible.
