I skipped the kidney beans because we didn't have any - but we loved this dish. Next time we make it we'll be sure to include them as I'm sure they add even more to this.

The Oxtail Stew was wonderful. It had a very nice taste to it. This was my first time making this dish, which I will make again in the future.

I must admit that I adjusted the recipe quite a bit. Instead of bouillon, I used homemade broth. I made this a one pot wonder by sauteing the oxtails for about 8 minutes in a large stock pot. (mine seems to take the challenge well). Then I added carrots and celery (cause I love veggies) cooked them for a minute or two and then threw in 3 tsp garlic ( it mellows in cooking and I love the flavor). I left out the beans and cornstarch and extra water because with the added veggies, it didn't need thickening. I cooked the whole thing for 2.5 hrs and then served it over rice. My boyfriend, who had initially said "ew, tails" said this one is a keeper. I forgot how flavorful beef tails are. One would think 5 bucks a pound is a lot for them, but they are packed with flavor.

Very good! I only made a third of the recipe, used dried kidney beans that I had soaked, and added some carrots and a potato. Omitted the cornstarch and added some okra to attempt to thicken it. Made it in the slowcooker after browning the oxtail first. Turned out really delicious

My family and I loved this version of oxtails! The broth was so flavorful that I added some of it to my rice and beans which turned out great. The only changes I made was to add some whole allspice, dried thyme (couldn't find the bay leaves) and sliced carrots to the cooking liquid. I omitted the cornstarch and made rice and beans to serve with the meat since my hubby doesn't really like stews/soups. Since we usually eat oxtals jaimaican style this was a nice switch. Thanks!

I made this today, following recipe as is, but did not add celery and onions since kids don't like them cooked. Also, I thickened the gravy with minute tapioca since did not have corn starch on hand. It was soo good! Will be making it at least twice a month now, thanks for the recipe!
