How to make an amazing pot of Oxtail Stew in your slow cooker!
Hey friends!In this post I’m going to show you how I make the best homemade oxtail stew. I’ll be cooking it in my slow cooker, which means it’s a super easy recipe!I will gather up all of my ingredients, then let the stew cook low and slow for 10hours.Let’s get started!
How to Make Slow Cooked Oxtail Stew
When I make stews it’s usually when I’m trying to clean out my refrigerator and freezer. With that being said, I like to use whatever I have on hand! At the time that I made this stew I had a ton of grape tomatoes on hand. I simply threw them into my food processor, and pulsed them a few times, and used them instead of my usual canned crushed tomatoes.In my freezer I had some frozen potatoes, a bag of onions & peppers, and lots of frozen carrots. I used them!
As far as oxtails, I had them in my freezer too! LOL. The oxtails that I used had a minimum amount of fat on them. If your oxtails have a lot of fat, be sure trim them.
You will notice that I didn’t add any salt to my stew, but you can add it to yours. If you noticed, I’ve been skipping out / or cutting down on sodium when it comes to cooking simply because it’s my preference.High blood pressure runs in my (and my husband’s) family, so I try my best to stay away from salt as much as possible these days! I thought that I’d address that because I’ve been getting asked about it a lot lately. 🙂
Instead of using salt I use Mrs. Dash original seasoning. You can use regular salt or seasoning salt if you choose.
