Oxtail Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oxtail

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the oxtail with salt and black pepper, then brown the pieces on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned oxtail to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, adjust the seasoning with salt if needed, and serve the oxtail meat hot with your choice of sides.
