Kare Kare (Oxtail Stew)

This oxtail kare kare is a richly flavored stew thanks to slow-simmered oxtail. The oxtail can be cooked a day ahead, so you can skim off the fat to make the dish a little healthier. Using a pressure cooker will reduce the cooking time, but the stew won't be as flavorful. Serve with rice and bagoóng (shrimp paste).

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 ½ pounds beef oxtails

  • 3 cups water, or more as needed

  • 2 beef bouillon cubes

  • ½ pound bok choy, chopped

  • ½ pound long beans, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • ½ pound eggplant, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon achiote powder

  • 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

Directions

  1. Bring oxtails and water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, at least 2 hours, adding more water as necessary. Skim as much fat from the top of the liquid as possible.

  2. Transfer oxtails to a plate. Crumble beef bouillon cubes into the pot and stir to dissolve. Add bok choy, beans, and eggplant and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. While the vegetables are simmering, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in achiote powder. Stir in peanut butter until melted. Add about 1/2 of the simmering broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add oxtails and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer remaining broth and vegetables to the pot and stir to combine. Serve hot.
