African-Style Oxtail Stew image

Oxtail is my favorite meal and I serve this recipe to all my friends and use it for my frozen food business. Everyone loves it. I call it God's food as it is so delicious! This meal is very rich, but oh so good! Oxtail is easily available here in Africa but I have heard it can be obtained in the US.

Time 3h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cubes beef bouillon
10 cups water
6 whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
¼ cup canola oil
3 pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
1 large onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
¼ cup cornstarch dissolved in
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Place celery, garlic, tomato paste, bouillon cubes, and water into a large Dutch oven; stir until the tomato paste has dissolved. Add peppercorns and bay leaves, place over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oxtail and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove oxtail from hot oil and place into Dutch oven. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and cook the onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes; add to oxtail.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper, recover, and continue to cook until the oxtail is tender, but not falling off of the bone, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove oxtail pieces and place into a serving dish. Add kidney beans to Dutch oven and return to a simmer. Thicken with cornstarch dissolved in water, simmer for 1 minute until thickened and clear. Pour sauce over the oxtail.

This stew was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out really bland. The meat was tough and the sauce was watery. I think I might have added too much water.
