Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Oxtail Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Oxtail

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the oxtail pieces, browning them on all sides for about 10 minutes. Remove the oxtail and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Add Liquid

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Oxtail

    Return the oxtail to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 3 to 4 hours, until the meat is tender.

    In a large bowl, mix together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  3. 7

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter. Make sure the butter isn’t too hot.

  4. 8

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
