Cooking Instructions

1

Sear the Oxtail

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the oxtail with salt and black pepper, then sear the oxtail pieces until browned on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Tomato Paste

Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

4

Deglaze with Wine

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any brown bits. Allow to simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.

5

Simmer the Oxtail

Return the seared oxtail to the pot and add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

6

Serve

Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with your choice of side.
