Braised Oxtails Recipe

Indulge in the rich flavors of this exquisite Braised Oxtails recipe. With tender meat that falls off the bone and a savory broth infused with aromatic spices, this dish is sure to delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs oxtails, trimmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery, sliced

Directions:

1. Season the oxtails generously with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the oxtails and sear until beautifully browned on all sides, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer the oxtails to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion turns translucent and the aromatics release their fragrance, about 5 minutes.
3. Return the seared oxtails to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and add the bay leaves and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the oxtails simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
5. About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Allow them to cook until tender, absorbing the flavors of the broth.
6. Before serving, remove the bay leaves from the pot. Arrange the braised oxtails on a platter, surrounded by the aromatic vegetables and the luscious broth.

Enjoy this culinary masterpiece with your loved ones, savoring each succulent bite.
