Step 1

Rinse oxtail under cold water.

Step 2

Parboil the oxtail by placing it in a large pot and cover with water.

Step 3

Bring to a boil. Once boiling, strain the oxtail and discard the liquid.

Step 4

Fill the pot back up with water. Add in fish sauce and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, cover, and let simmer until oxtails are soft and fork tender, approximately 1.5-2 hours. If the water evaporates, add more to keep oxtail meat covered.

Step 5

Once the oxtail is done, strain to separate it from the broth. Reserve 4 cups of broth. Skim off any impurities or excess oil from the broth.

Step 6

Next, add oil to a large heated pot. Add in garlic and onions, and saute for 2-3 minutes or until onions are soft and translucent.

Step 7

Add in oxtail, and sear the oxtails so they’re nice and browned.

Step 8

Add in reserved broth, peanut butter, annatto powder, and toasted rice to the pot. Mix well. Let simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking. Season with salt/pepper and fish sauce/bagoong, to taste.

Step 9

Add in the veggies! I like to throw half of it into the pot, and the other half, I like to lightly pan fry in oil to have different textures!

Step 10

Serve with white rice and bagoong on the side.
