Description

Today I made some Jamaican inspired Oxtails and added some BBQ flare! Succulent, juicy and tender Oxtails with a nice heat to them, with some butter beans on the side! A very forgiving cut of meat that melts in your mouth, I would definitely give this one a try!

Ingredients

4–5 lbs oxtails
1–2 tsp browning (as a binder)
SPG
2 cans butter beans, rinsed

Braise

1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
15g ginger, diced
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp tomato paste
4–5 cloves garlic, minced
1 habanero, cut up
5g allspice
2 quarts low-sodium beef stock
40g brown sugar
1 lime, juiced
25g soy sauce
3 tbsp ketchup
10g browning
5g thyme
1 bunch green onions

Instructions

-Pat the oxtails dry and trim any excessive fat if needed.

-Lightly coat with browning as a binder, then generously season all sides with SPG.

-Fire up the pit to 250–300°F. Place the oxtails on the pit and allow them to develop a nice bark and smoky flavor. Cook for a couple of hours, flipping halfway through.

-While the oxtails are smoking, prepare the braise. In a stock pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, red and green bell peppers, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until softened.

-Mix in the tomato paste and cook for a minute. Add the garlic and habanero, followed by the allspice. Pour in the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Stir in brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, ketchup, browning, thyme, and green onions. Bring the braise to a gentle simmer.

-Once the oxtails are done, remove them from the pit and submerge them into the simmering braise. Cover loosely and let them gently simmer for 2–2.5 hours.

-Turn off the heat and add the rinsed butter beans to the pot. Allow the oxtails to cool in the braise until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

-Remove the oxtails from the braise and strain the liquid to separate the butter beans and vegetables. Reduce the strained braising liquid until it thickens into a flavorful sauce.

-Enjoy!
