Miss G’s Simple Jamaican Oxtail Stew Recipe
Oxtail Stew is a favorite of most Jamaicans. My husband is a huge fan of this dish and I love to prepare it for him, the traditional Jamaican home-style way! Doing it the traditional way doesn’t put a restriction on the choice of ingredients; rather adding in the correct and fresh set of ingredients always enhances the quality of the dish. I always think of the smile on my husband’s face when I cook this dish!
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Oxtail
- Salt and black pepper, to season and as per taste
- 3 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 garlic Cloves
- 2 onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

Directions
- Sprinkle some salt, black pepper, curry powder and garlic over the oxtail. Rub them well all over it.
- Arrange the onion slices over the seasoned oxtail. Cover and let it refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 2-3 hours, prior to cooking.
- Heat some oil in a deep saucepan. Remove the onion slices from the top of the oxtail and put it in the hot oil to sear it a bit.

- Add the curry powder and pour more water as needed to cover the level of meat.
- Cook it covered over reduced heat till the meat becomes tender. Adjust the levels of salt and pepper, as per the taste.
