Ingredients
- 4 ½ pounds beef oxtails
- 3 cups water, or more as needed
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- ½ pound bok choy, chopped
- ½ pound long beans, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ pound eggplant, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon achiote powder
- 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- Bring oxtails and water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, at least 2 hours, adding more water as necessary. Skim as much fat from the top of the liquid as possible.
- Transfer oxtails to a plate. Crumble beef bouillon cubes into the pot and stir to dissolve. Add bok choy, beans, and eggplant and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the vegetables are simmering, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in achiote powder. Stir in peanut butter until melted. Add about 1/2 of the simmering broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add oxtails and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer remaining broth and vegetables to the pot and stir to combine. Serve hot.

yummy
I made this with boneless short ribs instead and it turned out delicious! I also sauteed the eggplant, green beans, and (baby) bok choy with garlic before I put them into the stew. My Filipino hubby gave it 2 thumbs up!
missing some important but hard to find ingredients like banana flowers and some tuber.
Looks like a good recipe, only difference would be that i’d add 1 cup of Peanut Butter instead of just 3 tablespoons. I like the peanut butter taste.
This recipe was good. I recommend adding a little spice to it. It will give it a little kick.
My family and I have eaten various recipes of this classically delicious Filipino dish. This one is just as tasty! I added tripe, coriander, hot pepper flakes and cardamon to this base for a little extra YUM!
