Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 1 large eggplant, cut into 2-inch chunks

  • ½ head bok choy, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • ½ pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces

  • ¼ cup peanut butter, or as needed to thicken sauce

Directions

  1. Fill a large saucepan with water; add oxtail, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 hours over medium-low heat, skimming off the foam occasionally, until oxtail meat is very tender and broth is reduced to 3 cups.

  2. Stir in eggplant, bok choy, and green beans; simmer for about 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  3. Just before serving, place peanut butter in a small bowl and thin with 1 or 2 tablespoons of broth. Stir until smooth and add to stew.

Editor's Note

Oxtails produce a lot of fat as they cook; strain off excess grease from the stew before serving.
