Time 4h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (750 milliliter) bottles dry red wine
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
5 pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
¼ cup butter, divided
5 shallots, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
5 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Simmer the red wine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Meanwhile, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Dredge the oxtail in the seasoned flour, and shake off excess; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown the oxtail on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the oxtails from the pan and set aside. Turn the heat to medium-low and melt another 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Stir in the shallots, garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, parsley, beef broth, and reduced red wine. Place the browned oxtail on top of the vegetables in a single layer, then bring to a boil.
  • Cover with a tight fitting lid or aluminum foil, then bake in preheated oven until the oxtail is very tender and nearly falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  • Once the oxtail is tender, remove the meat to a serving dish, cover, and keep warm. Strain the remaining braising liquid through a mesh strainer into a saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced to 2 cups. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and pour over the oxtail to serve.

WINE-BRAISED OXTAIL



Wine-Braised Oxtail image

Don't be scared off by oxtail just because you may never have cooked it before. It's as meaty and rich as short ribs, and just as straightforward to prepare. In this hearty braise, the meat is simmered in wine with carrots and celeriac. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for those roots. For example: mushrooms, celery stalks, turnips, rutabaga, winter squash chunks, and sweet potatoes would all be happy additions to the pot. Or leave the vegetables out and serve the whole thing over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or polenta. Like all braises, it can be made at least four days ahead, and gets better as it sits.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, more as needed
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
5 pounds beef oxtails, patted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 shallots, peeled, trimmed and sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch-thick
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths
2 small or 1 large celeriac, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon tomato paste
6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bottle (750 milliliters) dry red wine
1 cup chicken stock
5 parsley sprigs, plus 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
2 rosemary branches
2 bay leaves
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Torn celery leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper and allspice. Add oxtail to bowl and rub the mixture all over the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat an 8-quart Dutch oven, or a heavy soup pot with a lid, over medium-high heat. Add oil and warm through. Add as many oxtail pieces as you can fit in a single layer without overcrowding the pot. Sear, turning occasionally, until the meat is uniformly golden brown all over, including the sides. Transfer meat to a plate; repeat until you've browned all the oxtail.
  • Add shallot to the pan drippings and cook over medium heat until lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add carrot and celery root and cook 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and two-thirds of the garlic (save the rest for garnish) and cook 1 minute.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pour wine and stock into pot. Bundle parsley sprigs, rosemary branches and bay leaves with kitchen twine and drop into pot. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook over medium heat until liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Return oxtail to pot and bring to a simmer. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook, turning oxtails every 30 minutes, until meat is fork tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer oxtails to a plate. Spoon off fat from surface of pan juices and discard (there will be a lot of it). Toss oxtails with remaining pan gravy. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. In a small bowl, toss together chopped parsley, garlic, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Scatter mixture over oxtails and garnish with the celery leaves, if using, before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality oxtails: Look for oxtails that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. Avoid oxtails that are too lean or have a lot of sinew.
  • Brown the oxtails before braising: This step helps to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the oxtails on all sides.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine you use will contribute to the flavor of the braising liquid. Choose a red wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to the braised oxtails. Choose a variety of vegetables that you enjoy.
  • Simmer the oxtails until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This will take at least 2 hours, but it is worth the wait. The longer you simmer the oxtails, the more tender they will become.
  • Serve the braised oxtails over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious braising liquid.

Conclusion:

Braised oxtails are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your braised oxtails turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give braised oxtails a try. You won't be disappointed!
