The Chef: Eileen Andrade
The Restaurant: Barbakoa by Finka, Doral
The Dish: Oxtail Fried Rice

Ingredients:
4 lbs of oxtail – pulled from bone, cut into pieces
1 leek, chopped
3 roma tomatoes, diced
3 carrots, chopped
1 Spanish onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cups beef stock
3 cups red wine
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 bay leaves
3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
32 oz cooked white rice
4oz red peppers, diced
4oz thinly sliced carrots
4oz sliced button mushrooms
1oz fresh pressed ginger juice
3-5oz soy sauce to taste
4 fried eggs (chicken or duck)
sesame oil
salt
pepper
olive oil

Method of Preparation:

Season the oxtail with salt and pepper. In a large oan, drizzle a significant amount of olive oil on medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the oxtail on all sides until browned. Remove the oxtail and let it rest.
In the same oil used to sear the oxtail, saute leeks, onions, carrots, minced garlic and tomatoes for about 5 minutes. Add the oxtail to the pan and add soy sauce. Cook these ingredients for 2 minutes. Proceed with adding bay leaves, wine and beef stock. Bring to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 3 hours. Check on the oxtail to make sure the meat is falling off the bone and set aside.
Place a large sauté pan on the burner and increase to medium-high heat. Place about .5oz of sesame oil on the pan. Sauté red pappers with oxtail for about 30 seconds. Add carrots, fried sweet plantains and cooked white rice. Sauté until mixed evenly. Add mushroom, ginger and remaining soy sauce and continue to saute until mixed evenly.

Serves 4.

To Plate:
Serve in a bowl and top with fried chicken or duck egg.
