Dinner Dominican Dishes Recipes

Dominican Oxtail Stew (Rabo Guisado)

This is one of the most delicious meat you will ever have. The tenderness and flavor of this Dominican Oxtail Stew is incredible! In Spanish we call it Rabo Guisado.
It’s a Dominican cuisine staple and one of the most popular dishes in homes everywhere.
Make sure to follow all the instructions so you have the same results. I swear, you are going to love it!!!

Oxtail Stew Rabo Encendido
Classic Dominican recipe, Dominican Oxtail Stew, Rabo Encendido

Ingredients:

1 Oxtail sliced the thinnest possible (butcher will have to do this)
In my neighborhood supermarket they are usually in the pre-packed meat section sliced at about 3” thick but in my mom’s latin neighborhood in NYC she can get them at about 1”.  That would be preferred. The thicker it is, the longer it will take to get them tender.
2 limes
1 tablespoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Goya Adobo
¼ teaspoon Dominican ground oregano (or any ground oregano)
¼ cup red wine – I prefer Bogle Red Vine Zinfandel
¼ cup chopped onions
½ cup chopped or sliced green and red peppers
2 tablespoons Goya Salad Olives (or more if preferred)
2 oz Goya tomato sauce

Directions:

Rinse oxtails in water, add the salt, drain. Marinade oxtails with the lemon, black pepper, soy sauce, adobo, oregano and red wine.

Marinade in fridge overnight if possible or at least 2 hours.

At medium to low heat, in a Dutch oven (deep pot) cook the oxtails with NO oil; it will release its own fat. 

Cook for about 30 minutes stirring frequently. If you feel it’s drying out, add little bits of water.

After the 30 minutes add onions, peppers, salad olives and tomato sauce.

Cook until tender. This could take another 30-60 minutes if the oxtails are not that thin.  I usually pout mine in the slow cooker after an hour and leave them in there on low for another 4 to 5 hours. 

But remember, my supermarket cuts them about 3” thick, that is why I need to cook them longer. I recommend you cook these around noon for dinner that way if you need to cook them longer you have the time to do so. 

Keep warm at 180 degrees in the oven until dinner.

Serve with white rice, salad and tostones (Fried Green Plantains).

Ingredients

  • 1 Oxtail sliced the thinnest possible butcher will have to do this
  • 2 limes
  • 1 tbs salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp Dominican ground oregano or any ground oregano
  • 1/4 cup red wine I prefer Bogle Red Vine Zinfandel
  • 1/4 cup onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup green and red peppers chopped
  • 2 tbs Goya Salad Olives
  • 2 oz Goya tomato sauce

  • Serve with white rice, salad and tostones.

Notes

In my neighborhood supermarket they are usually in the pre-packed meat section sliced at about 3” thick but in my mom’s latin neighborhood in NYC she can get them at about 1”.  That would be preferred. The thicker it is, the longer it will take to get them tender.
Ask your butcher is they can cut them at 1 inch thick.
If I buy the thicker cut oxtail, I usually put them in the slow cooker after an hour of stove top cooking, slow cook on low for another 4 to 5 hours.  But remember, my supermarket cuts them about 3” thick, that is why I need to cook them longer.  I recommend you cook these around noon for dinner that way if you need to cook them longer you have the time to do so.  Keep warm in the slow cooker or at 175º degrees in the oven until dinner.
