My Oxtail Stew, Plain and Simple

 Hello, Darlings

I thought I had ported the recipe for my oxtail stew years ago, but upon doing a search for it,  I discovered that I had forgotten to do so. Therefore, I am posting it now. If you enjoy throwback meal, then you will enjoy this one.

My Oxtail Stew

Ingredients

  • 6 medium Potatoes cut in fourth
  • 12 or more baby carrots
  • 1 large Onions, chopped
  • 3 Celery stalks, chopped bit size
  • 2 cans stewed tomatoes
  • 12 ounce bag of frozen peas
  • 5 ounces of frozen pre-snapper green beans 
  • 1- 2 tablespoons Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon Butcher ground black pepper or regular pepper according to medium- heat medium- heat personal taste 
  • 3/4 teaspoon Thyme
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 2 chicken bouillons 
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 package Oxtails
  • 1 bay leaf 
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 pinches crushed red pepper

Directions 

  1. To quicken the cooking progress of the carrots, microwave them first on high for 15-20 minutes. Then add them with the water they were cooked in to cover in an 8 quart Dutch oven.
  2. Rinse oxtail and place in the Dutch oven with the carrots, and then add water to cover the meat.
  3. Add all the other ingredients with the exception of the potatoes, barley and flour, and cook on medium-high for 1½ hour  or until oxtail shows some tenderness
  4. Reduce heat to medium and cook stew for until the oxtails are tender, but not falling off of the bone
  5. Add  potatoes and barley 
  6. Mix flour with a ½ - ¾ cup stew hot stew liquid, and then add the mixture during last 15 minutes of cooking. This avoids lumping. Simmer for 20 minutes on medium-low

NOTE: For additional nutrition I sometimes add 2 cups of chunky butternut squash.
