Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb oxtail
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon (or beef, vegetable bouillon)
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 sprigs thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 medium onion
- ½ red bell pepper (diced)
- ½ green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 tomatoes (diced)
- 16 oz butter beans (rinsed)
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2–3 bay leaves
- 4 tbsp cooking oil
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Wash oxtail with water, lemon juice, and vinegar, then trim excess fat.
- Marinate oxtail with garlic, chicken bouillon, allspice, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, thyme, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, and other seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
- Set the instant pot or pressure cooker on sauté mode. Add cooking oil and sear each side of the oxtail for about one minute until brown.
- Remove the oxtail from the pot and set aside. Add tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and tomato paste into the pot and stir continuously until they release liquid.
- Season with a pinch of salt and bouillon. Sauté veggies for about three minutes until soft.
- Add oxtails back into the pot along with drippings, bay leaves, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Cover the pot and set it to pressure cook on high for twenty minutes. Allow steam to release naturally afterward.
- Open the lid after cooking time is up. Change back to sauté mode. Add green onions, butter beans, and carrots into the mix.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with three tablespoons of water then add it to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for about five minutes until thickened.
- Serve your delicious Jamaican Oxtail hot with rice and peas or any side you prefer!
