Steps
1
To a large slow cooker using sauté mode or in a skillet on the stovetop, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the bell pepper and onion slices and cook 10–12 min., until soft. If using a skillet, transfer vegetable mixture to slow cooker.
2
Meanwhile, wash the oxtails well with warm water and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning, if using. Mix to combine. Thoroughly coat oxtails in spice mixture.
3
To slow cooker with vegetable mixture, add oxtails. In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, ketchup, and browning sauce. Add mixture to slow cooker, along with the garlic and thyme. Cook on high 5–6 hours (depending on size of oxtails), until oxtails are tender. Once tender, stir in the butter beans. Cook 10 min., until beans are warmed through. Serve with rice and sweet plantains, if desired.
