🍖 Braised Oxtail Recipe

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Season & Sear: Generously season oxtail with salt. Brown in a large pot over high heat, then set aside.
2. Sauté Veggies: In the same pot, cook onion, celery, and carrots until golden. Add garlic and herbs.
3. Deglaze: Pour in red wine and let it reduce slightly. Add tomatoes and beef stock.
4. Simmer: Return oxtail to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 3–4 hours until meat is fall-apart tender.
5. Optional: Uncover and simmer for 30–45 minutes to reduce the sauce.
6. Serve: Best with mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice to soak up the rich gravy.
