Instructions
- 1
Toss oxtail with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, browning sauce, salt, and pepper. Marinate at least 1 hour (overnight preferred). Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Brown oxtail in batches, 4–5 minutes per side, until deeply seared. Remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and green onions, cook 2 more minutes. Add brown sugar and cook until it caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute.

Return oxtail to the pot. Add allspice, thyme, whole Scotch bonnet (keep whole to control heat — piercing it will make the stew extremely spicy), and beef broth. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, and reduce to a very low simmer.

Cook for 2.5–3 hours, turning oxtail every 45 minutes, until the meat is falling off the bone and the sauce has reduced significantly. Add butter beans in the last 30 minutes. Remove Scotch bonnet and thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over white rice with rice and peas.
