Place Oxtail in the fridge in a bowl to marinate over night or for at least four hours.

4 Hours and 10 Minute Cooking Steps:

Hour One

Add the olive oil and butter to a flat plan on mid high. Add the marinated oxtail DO NOT add water. Let it cook in the marinade. Make sure all pieces are flat in the pot and not on top each other. It is best to cook your oxtail in a pan. Cook each side with top on, on medium high for thirty minutes on each side. Once brown on each side, you will notice the marinade thickening this is good. Remember, medium high will cause it to cook intensely make sure you're not burning it if so, turn down a little.

Hour Two

Add the first cup of chicken broth and two cups of water. Also add the one additional spoon of Tbsp Walkerswood Traditional Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Spicy not the Mild). Cover and let cook for an hour with the top on stirring every thirty minutes.

Hour Three

Add another teaspoon of the mild jerk sauce, add the ketchup,tomato, and thyme.Cover and let cook for an hour with the top on, on medium high stirring every thirty minutes.

Hour Four

You will notice some drying by hour 4. If it's a lot, turn down a tab bit more. Add the last cup of chicken broth and last cup of water. With thirty minutes left, add the canned butter beans. For the last thirty minutes on medium low, the canned butter beans. Let sit on low heat for another 10 minutes

Enjoy! 👩‍🍳
