A hearty and flavorful oxtail stew, slow-cooked until tender.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs oxtail
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup red wine

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season oxtail with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown oxtail on all sides. Remove oxtail and set aside.
