1
Trim excess fat from oxtails.

Pour off excess fat and season with salt and pepper.

Cover stew and slowly simmer about 2 hours, or until meat is tender.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
