Oven Baked Oxtails

Hey Guys Welcome Back to My Blog Page, I Hope Everybody Has Been Enjoying So Far =). Lately ive Been Posting Old Content From My IG Page but I Plan on Making Some Fresh New Content for You ! This Next Post is Going to Be an Oxtail Recipe, One That I Kind of Came Up With Myself & Ended Up Turning Out Good. Now ive Eaten Jamaican Style Oxtails Growing Up but Never Tried to Actually Make Them That Way. I Got on Pintrest to Look Up The ingredients & Realized I Had Nothing I Needed in My Pantry, So I improvised With What I Had. Most of The Recopies Also Suggested They Be Cooked in A Crockpot or Pressure Cooker . . . I Didnt Have Either of Those =( So I Thought To Myself ” Time to Experiment & See Where it Goes, Here is Your Chance to Freestyle & Test Out Your Cooking Skills.

Ingredients Used

• 1 Pack Of Oxtails
• Bunch of Fresh Tyme
• A Stick of Butter

As I Stated Before in A Previous Blog I Usually Dont List The Seasonings & Measurements on My ingredients List Because I Like For People to Use What Works for Their Palette, However I Do List Them in My instructions. Now I Started Off With The Oxtails, I Got A Nice Sized Pack From a Local Farmers Market in My Area. After Cleaning Them, I Took My Knife & Cut Off Some of the Access Fat Around the Oxtail. After, I Seasoned Them With Some Creole Seasoning, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder & Some Thyme Butter. (I Made My Thyme Butter The Night Before By Taking A Fresh Bunch of Thyme & Putting it A Pan w/ A Stick of Butter and Pepper. I Let The Butter Melt Down & Simmer A Bit So the Flavors Could Execute into the Butter. Afterwards I Let The Butter Cool Then I Placed it in the Fridge To Get Back Firm. ) I Put The Seasoned Oxtails in A Large Pot on Medium-High Heat & Added The Thyme Butter and Kinda Seared Them Until They Where a Nice Light Brown Color. I Then Added A Few Cups Of Water w/ A TAD More Seasoning Salt. I Added Just Enough to Cover The Oxtails & Let Them Boil for About An Hour to A Hour & a Half. Once Finished, I Picked Out All The Thyme Stems & Transferred The Oxtails & Left Over Liquid to A Baking Pan.

Once in The Baking Pan, I Covered With Foil & Let Them Bake For About 2 More Hours. At First, I Wanted To Do The Regular Rice & Peas but Unfortunately I Had Rice and No Peas lol Causing Me to Have to improvise So I Cooked Box Macaroni w/ A Twist. Now I Know Alot of People Arent Big Fans of Stove Top Mac but If You Add Your Own Twist to it, its Not So Bad. I Start Off With A Box Of Kraft Mac & Cheese and Let it Cook Like Regular. I Add Extra Milk, Butter, Shredded Cheddar Cheese & A Spoonful of Sour Cream. Salt & Pepper Added to Taste. After About 2 Hours The Oxtails Were Done & The House Smelled Amazing! They Ended Up Coming Out Nice and Tender, Alot Better Than I Expected for My First Time!
