Step 1
Season oxtail generously with salt and black pepper. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 2
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown oxtail on all sides in batches. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Add chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in brown sugar and cook for 1 minute until caramelized. Add Scotch bonnet, thyme, allspice berries, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another minute.
Step 5
Return oxtail to the pot. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until oxtail is very tender.
Step 6
Add chopped carrots and butter beans to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until carrots are tender and the gravy has thickened.
Step 7
Remove Scotch bonnet and thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, traditionally with rice and peas.
