Filipino Oxtail Stew with Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 large eggplant, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1/2 head bok choy, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter, or as needed to thicken sauce
Instructions
1
Fill a large saucepan with water, then carefully add the oxtail, sliced onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then gradually reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 2 hours, periodically removing any foam that rises to the surface.
3
As the oxtail becomes tender and the broth is reduced, it should be approximately 3 cups.
4
Next, stir in the sliced eggplant, chopped bok choy, and green beans.
5
Continue to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have reached your desired level of doneness.
6
Just before serving, prepare a small bowl with the peanut butter and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the reduced broth to thin it out.
7
Stir the peanut butter until smooth and blend it into the stew, adding a rich and creamy texture to your dish.
