Ginger Oxtail Stew With Potatoes Recipes

OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat from the oxtail pieces. Combine the oxtail with the brandy and lime juice in a large bowl and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the oxtail from the marinade, rub all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed pan, cook the oxtail in the oven, uncovered, until brown, about 30 minutes. Add the red wine and cook uncovered for 15 minutes more.
• Combine the beef broth, tomato paste, garlic powder, herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon pepper, cumin, garlic pepper, nutmeg and sage in a bowl. Add to the oxtail and mix well. Cover and cook until the meat is almost tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the celery, carrots and potatoes and cook until the meat is fully tender and the vegetables are done, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and skim any excess fat from the top using a flat wide-bottomed spoon.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1 cup cold water in a small bowl, stirring until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Stir the cornstarch into the stew and cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the oxtails with a good pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Add half of the oxtails to the hot oil and cook until well browned on each side, about 8 minutes total. Use tongs to remove the seared oxtail to a large plate or bowl, then repeat with the remaining oxtails; remove.
• Add the celery, carrots and onion to the pot and cook until just tender, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it turns brick red in color, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, then stir until combined. Stir in the beef broth, allspice, thyme, bay leaves, brown sugar, and Worcestershire until combined. Cut an "X" in the pointy end of the chile (opposite the stem) with a small paring knife, then add to the pot.
• Return the browned oxtails to the pot, making sure all the pieces are submerged in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, until the meat is very tender and nearly falling off the bone, about 3 hours.
• Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaves. Skim the excess fat from the top of the stew with a small ladle, then stir in the butter beans until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, top with scallions and serve with white rice.

Steps:

• Generously season oxtails with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or casserole, heat oil on high heat until it shimmers. Add oxtails in a single layer to hot oil, working in batches if necessary, and sear the oxtails until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove oxtails with tongs to a plate (leaving the oil behind). Cover oxtails loosely and set aside.
• Return Dutch oven to high heat until oil shimmers. Add onion, leeks, and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until it deepens in color and smells sweet about 2 minutes.
• Add sherry vinegar and honey. Stir until honey is dissolved. Return oxtails and any juices to the Dutch oven, stirring gently with a wooden spoon. Add red wine and enough broth to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add a bouquet garni made by tying the parsley, thyme and bay leaf together in cheesecloth with butcher's twine. Cover and let simmer over very low heat until meat is nearly falling off the bone, about 2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer oxtails to a heated serving bowl and keep warm. Remove and discard the bouquet garni. Return Dutch oven to heat. Skim off fat and oil from the surface of pan juices and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, until juices have thickened slightly about 5 minutes.

GINGER OXTAIL STEW WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oil over high heat in a very sturdy saucepan. Meanwhile, trim any surrounding fat from the pieces of oxtail. Then, place them in one layer in the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium, partly cover the pan (about three-quarters of the way) to reduce the possibility of splattering, and cook for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is brown on all sides. Discard any fat that has accumulated in the pan.
• Place the onion, garlic, ginger pieces and 1 cup of the water in the bowl of a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Add the mixture to the saucepan with the remaining cup of water, the salt, cinnamon, chili powder and soy sauce. Mix well, bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil very gently for two hours.
• Transfer the pieces of oxtail from the pan to a plate, and remove and discard as much fat as possible from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Return the meat to the pan along with the mushrooms. Mix well; then, arrange the potato slices on top of the stew in the pan. Bring the mixture to a strong boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes.
• Divide the potato slices among six plates, and place an oxtail on top of the potatoes on each. Spoon some sauce over the meat and potatoes, and sprinkle on some chopped herbs, if desired. Serve.

BEEF OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Wash and dry the oxtails with a paper towel. Salt and pepper them all over.
• Dredge the oxtails with flour, and be sure to tap all the excess flour off.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot, and wait until the oil is hot. Then carefully place the first batch of oxtails in, one side up, with enough room for each one. Let them sit undisturbed for 1-3 minutes, until the side down is lightly browned. Then flip each of the oxtails to a different side and continue browning. Repeat until each side is browned. You may have to do 2 or 3 batches of oxtails. Use a tablespoon of oil for each new batch.
• Set aside the oxtails in a bowl or plate.
• Rough chop the onion and mince the garlic. Finely mince or grate the ginger.
• Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, bay leaves, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and wine to the same pot. Then add the oxtails back in. Fill the pot with water until the oxtails are mostly submerged, and give the pot a stir or two.
• Bring the pot to a boil, then lower the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 2 hours, until the oxtail is tender. Once in awhile, give the pot a stir and make sure the meat isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot. Simmer another 30 minutes if you want fall-off-the-bone texture.
• Remove the bay leaves. Take the fat off the stew. It is best to wait until the stew cools so that the fat is easier to skim. You can also cool it in the fridge for 30 min to an hour and skim the fat.
• Chop the carrots and potatoes into bite sized pieces.
• Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot and give the pot a stir. Heat the pot up to boiling, then low-medium heat and simmer another 30-45 minutes, until the carrots/potatoes are cooked but not mushy. Careful again that the meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Once the veggies are just right, turn off the heat.
• Serve with a big pot of rice!

TAIWANESE STYLE OXTAIL STEW

Stir in the 2 diced tomatoes, red wine, and enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 3 hours, adding additional water or beef broth if the liquid becomes low.
• After 3 hours, skim off some of the fat from the top and heat it in a skillet. Cook and stir the onion until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomato and carrots. Cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then stir the onion mixture into the oxtail.

JAMAICAN OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Season oxtails aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add brown sugar to pot and melt, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it darkens and starts to smoke ­- about six minutes. When sugar is nearly black, add 2 tablespoons boiling water. (It will splatter.) Stir to mix.
• Add the oxtails to the pot, working in batches, stirring each time to cover them with blackened sugar, then allowing them to cook, turning occasionally, until they are well browned. Remove oxtails to a bowl and keep warm.
• Add half of the onions, garlic and ginger to the pot, along with the pepper, the thyme, the allspice and a third of the scallions, and stir to combine. Allow to cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
• Return the oxtails to the pot along with any accumulated juices and put water into the pot so that the oxtails are almost submerged. Bring to a simmer and then cook, covered, approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Add remaining onions, garlic and ginger to the pot, along with another third of the scallions. Add sugar, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and continue to cook until the meat is yielding and loose on the bone, approximately one hour longer. Remove approximately one cup of liquid from pot and place in a small bowl. Add flour to this liquid and stir to combine, working out any lumps with the back of a spoon. Add this slurry to the pot along with ketchup, then stir to combine and allow to cook a further 15 minutes or so. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme stems. Fold butter beans into the stew and allow these to heat through. Scatter remaining scallions over the top. Serve with white rice or rice and peas.
