Caribbean-style Oxtails
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds oxtails
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup small diced onion
- 1/2 cup small diced carrot
- 1/2 cup small diced celery
- 1/4 cup small diced leeks
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced green onion, white part only
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (recommended: Guinness)
- 1 1/2 cups veal stock or low-sodium canned beef broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Add the olive oil to the One Pot (or any pressure cooker, or a Dutch oven) and heat over medium heat until hot.
- Season the oxtails with the salt and pepper.
- Add half of the oxtails to the One Pot and cook until well browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Set the seared oxtails on a platter once browned and repeat with the remaining oxtails.
- Once all the oxtails are browned, add the onions, carrots and celery to the pan.
- Saute the vegetables until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the leeks, garlic, green onions and ginger to the pan and saute for 1 minute, stirring often.
- Add the tomato paste and stir well to incorporate.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
- Add the beer to the One Pot and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Bring the beer to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the stock and allspice, stir, and return the oxtails to the pan.
- Return the pan to a boil and place the lid over the pan.
- Once a steady stream of steam is emitted from the pan, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook the oxtails until tender, about 1 hour in a pressure cooker or 2 hours in a Dutch oven.
- Remove the lid, and stir the chopped parsley into the pan.
- Serve immediately.
