Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
2 ¼ pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
1 onion, sliced
3 carrots, sliced
1 leek, sliced
5 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cups red wine
3 ripe tomatoes, quartered
1 sprig thyme
2 bay leaves
water to cover
1 cube beef bouillon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; brown oxtail, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, carrots, leek, and garlic. Cook and stir until tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour vegetable mixture into Dutch oven with the oxtail. Add red wine, tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaves; stir to combine. Bring stew to a boil until alcohol from red wine evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add enough water to cover, bouillon cube, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat falls away from bone, about 4 hours. Remove oxtail from stewing liquid.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste; cook and stir until flour turns light brown, about 15 minutes. Whisk in stewing liquid and bring to a boil; simmer until thickened to stew consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour stew over the oxtail to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your estofado stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes.
  • Brown the meat before stewing it: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality wine: The wine you use will add a lot of flavor to the stew, so it's important to choose a good one. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, is a good choice.
  • Simmer the stew for several hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the stew, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the stew with rice, potatoes, or bread: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Estofado stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile dish, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious estofado stew that your family and friends will love.
