Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and sauté until golden, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Add pre-cooked oxtail, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and simmer gently for 8–10 minutes until sauce reduces slightly and oxtail is heated through.
Step 3
While the oxtail simmers, heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a second skillet over medium-high. Fry plantain slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy; transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same plantain skillet, add remaining 0.5 tbsp oil. Crack eggs into the pan and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top with oxtail and gravy, then slide a fried egg and crispy plantain onto each plate.
