In reply to Leah. No, I wouldn't consider this stew to be spicy.

In reply to Mike Burke. Hi Mike, picking out the green onions, means you take them off the meat before you brown the meat. It's not a crucial step and you might not have had any green onions that stuck to the meat when you marinaded the meat, so I'm sure it turned out well. Thanks for your review. I really enjoyed reading it. I hope you enjoyed your meal!

So far so good. It’s on now. 3 small scotties, 1 diced, 2 whole. 5+ lbs oxtail/beef shank, cubed beef mixed. 4 cups broth. Otherwise I followed your instruction. It’s a process! I felt the marinade was scant considering the volume of meats I used. Should have doubled it. My slow cooker is full almost to the top! It’s going to be a real treat. Didn’t understand picking out the green onion part. I might remake the marinade and simmer it for use after the fact if I need more flavour. Lovely recipe Ms. Mavis 😊

Hi Tee,

Sorry for the confusion, that’s what my family calls white kidney beans. Lol. You can substitute butter beans with white kidney beans if you can’t find butter beans.

This dish looks delish. I am definitely looking forward to preparing. Can you tell me what are rapini beans? Thank you.

In reply to Free B. Thanks so much for your review, Free. It really warms my heart to hear that the oxtails turned out so good that your family couldn't believe that it didn't come from a restaurant. Lol.

Mavis, Thank you for sharing the most delicious recipe for oxtail, I made this and followed the recipe step for step. When I tell you I had all kind of deliciousness going on in my kitchen. And to top it off they taste better than the oxtails I buy from the restaurants. My family could not believe I made them, they really thought I had paid for a catering order. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my monthly rotation. ❤️
