Description
A delicious and tender slow-cooked oxtail dish simmered in a rich bone broth reduction.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds oxtail, cut into pieces
- 4 cups beef bone broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the oxtail pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on all sides. Remove the oxtail and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker. Add the browned oxtail, beef bone broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the oxtail and set aside. Strain the broth to remove the vegetables and bay leaf, then return the strained broth to the slow cooker.
- Turn the slow cooker to high and let the broth reduce for about 30 minutes, until slightly thickened. Return the oxtail to the slow cooker to warm through.
- Serve the oxtail with the reduced broth, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the slow cooker.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
