1: In a small bowl, combine all the seasonings listed. 2: In a large bowl transfer the clean oxtail, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the seasoning mixture. 3: Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of the green seasoning and drizzle the Jamaican browning sauce into the bowl of oxtail. 4: Combine the ingredients with the oxtail until the oxtail are fully coated. 5: Cover, chill and marinate for 1 hour or overnight. Prep all of the vegetables. 6: After, let the oxtail relax out of the refrigerator until room temperature. 7: In a heavy bottom pot add 2 tablespoons of oil. 8: Once the oil is hot, braise the oxtail on each side for 1 to 2 minutes and create a nice brown sear on the outside of the oxtail. 9: Remove the oxtail, leave the oil, bits and pieces for additional flavor. 10: Saute the bell peppers and onions until slightly caramelized. Add the ginger in and mix until fragrant. 11: Pour in the beef broth, add the green seasoning, pepper and oxtails. 12: Mix until well combined, cook on medium heat for about 3 hours. Add additional broth if necessary when checking every 30-40 minutes. 13: For the last 30 minutes of cooking, skim the oil that may be floating on the surface. 14: Using 2 cups of the oxtail broth add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until well combined. Pour that back into the pot and mix gently. 15: Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. 16: Season to taste and check to ensure it’s the desired tenderness you prefer.
