Bayy's Signature Jamaican Oxtail Stew
  1. 1

    Place the oxtail, onion, thyme, browning sauce, scallions, red pepper flakes, ginger, allspice, garlic, and bay leaves in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate, 8 hours to overnight.

  2. 2

    Set a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the beef. Cook, turning halfway, until it releases its juices and the outsides are browned, about 10 minutes. Pour in 1 cup broth and water. Cover, lock the lid, and place the pressure regulator over the vent as the manufacturer directs. Lower the heat to low and simmer until mostly tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

  3. 3

    Stir the remaining beef broth and tomato paste into the beef. Cover with the lid and seal. Raise the heat to high. Cook until steam escapes in a steady stream and whistles, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the oxtail is tender, 40 minutes to 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Let the pressure release naturally as the manufacturer instructs, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock the lid and add the beans, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes more.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
