Oxtail Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Oxtails

Season the oxtails with salt and black pepper on all sides.

2

Brown the Oxtails

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the oxtails and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

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

4

Add Tomato Paste and Wine

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Then pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

5

Combine Ingredients

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

6

Simmer

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the oxtails are tender.

7

Final Touches

Once done, remove the bay leaves. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
