This stew is a great way to use up leftover oxtail. I usually make a big batch of oxtail soup and then use the leftovers to make this stew. It's a quick and easy meal that's always a hit with my family.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The meat was tough and the vegetables were overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best oxtail stew he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
