  3. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  4. 1 tablespoon allspice
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 teaspoon complete seasoning, such as Goya Sazonador Total
  7. One 1.41-ounce packet sazon
  8. 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
  9. 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  10. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  11. 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
  12. 3 tablespoons browning sauce
  13. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  14. 1/2 teaspoon Scotch bonnet sauce, or to taste
  15. 3 large bell peppers, julienne
  16. 2 carrots, 1-inch rough chopped
  17. 1 large onion, chopped
  18. 4 to 6 cups beef stock
  19. Serving suggestions: rice, mac and cheese, collard greens

Instructions

  1. Wash the oxtails with white vinegar and water three times, then pat dry.
  2. Rub the oxtails with the brown sugar, allspice, salt, complete seasoning, sazon, basil, granulated garlic and pepper, then add the olive oil and massage the seasonings together.
  3. Once the oxtail is fully covered, add the browning, soy sauce and Scotch bonnet sauce. Be careful with the Scotch bonnet; you will only want enough for flavor as it can be overwhelming.
  4. Heat a stockpot until hot, then add 3 tablespoons oil and add the oxtails. Sear all sides. Add the bell peppers, carrots and onions.
  5. Let cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, submerging the meat and veggies entirely. Let cook on medium-high for 2 hours covered, stirring occasionally, then turn down to medium and cook another hour. Finally, turn down to low and cook until the meat is tender to the touch.
  6. Serve over rice with mac and cheese and collard greens for a dynamite meal! Enjoy!
