Now, it seems that I will have to expand to Caribbean and Spanish food recipes because those are the new dishes that my husband and sons want to eat. One of the dishes that my husband, Reggie, <strong>really<\/strong> wanted me to learn how to make was oxtails. I did, so I\u2019m sharing my recipe for how to make braised oxtails in a Dutch oven.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44168\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-1.jpg 628w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After working on the recipe, I have a new appreciation for those who have prepared oxtails for me in the past. They take a while to cook <strong>and<\/strong> they are a bit pricey. Anyway, I worked on the dish until I came up with this recipe that my family loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me three attempts to get the perfect balance of meat and vegetables. The first time I made it, there were too many vegetables and not enough meat. The second time, there was enough meat, but not enough vegetables. \u00a0Finally, on my third attempt, I nailed the perfect ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, the taste was great all along. The reason why I had the taste on point from the beginning is that I asked my Caribbean friends (who are well known for their oxtail dishes) how to prepare them. I merged two of the recipes \u2013 one from my friend Judy and another from my friend, Mrs. Alison. (You can also try the delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/simple-guyanese-chicken-curry\/\">Guyanese Chicken Curry recipe<\/a> that Mrs. Alison taught me how to make five years ago.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two recipes merged perfectly. Now, this braised oxtails recipe is one of those \u201cspecial treat\u201d recipes we can all add to our recipe collections!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step By Step

Dutch oven.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_5\">Heat the oil and brown the oxtails in batches (about 3 minutes on each side) over medium heat.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_6\">Once all pieces are browned,

hours).<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_8\">While the meat cooks, slice your peppers and onions.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_9\">When the meat is tender, drain the cooking water from the Dutch oven and put the oxtails to the side.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_10\">Dry the Dutch oven; add enough oil to cover the bottom (about two tablespoons) and heat the oil.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_11\">Add about two tablespoons of burnt sugar (or brown sugar) and let it brown slightly for a couple of minutes. (Be careful not to burn it.)<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_12\">Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and stir.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_13\">Return the meat to the pot to get some color.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_14\">Add the sliced peppers and onions, along with any additional seasonings you might want.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_15\">Cook everything together for a few minutes and then add 1 cup of water.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_30_16\">Bring to a boil, then cover and cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.<\/li><\/ol><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<footer class=\"mv-create-footer\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"mv-create-footer-flexbox\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-copy\">&copy; Kimberly<\/div>\t\n\t<div class=\"mv-create-categories\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-pin-description=\"\" class=\"mv-create-pinterest no_pin ggnoads\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/braised-oxtails-in-dutch-oven-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\">\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/footer>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hXGnnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Walkerswood Green Seasoning<\/a> is a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Brown sugar will work in a pinch, but if you can, get the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4j9wd3K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Blue Mountain Country Burnt Sugar<\/a><strong> <\/strong>that my friend Judy gave me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013  People from various Caribbean countries cook their oxtails in different combinations.
