Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oxtail

    Season the oxtail pieces with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots and celery into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Oxtail

    In a large heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the oxtail pieces and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the oxtail and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Tomato Paste

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

  4. 6

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.

  5. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared oxtail to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.

  6. 8

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone.
