Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 pounds oxtails (1-inch cut)
2 tablespoons olive oil, not extra virgin
3 cups onions, medium dice
1 cup scallions, sliced
1/2 cup garlic, sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
8 sprigs thyme
Water
1 1/2 teaspoon cloves, whole
1 1/2 teaspoon allspice, whole
2 cups tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups red peppers, chopped
Salt
1 Scotch Bonnet pepper, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Toss the ingredients together in a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Take oxtails out of marinade and reserve onion mixture. In a heavy-bottom braiser over medium-high heat, brown both sides of oxtail in batches in olive oil, drain excess oil leaving just enough to saute onion mixture and thyme. After the onions and thyme are sauteed return oxtails to braiser and add enough water to cover 1/4 of the oxtails. Allow the liquid to come to a simmer. Put cloves and allspice into a sachet or tie in a cheesecloth, and submerge in liquid. Season with salt, cover, and put into a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Then add tomatoes, red and Scotch Bonnet peppers. Stir well and return pot to the oven for half an hour or until oxtails are tender. Check to see if additional water is needed during braising process. Seasoning with more salt is recommended when finished.

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

  • 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.

BRAISED OXTAIL

I'm so glad oxtails are back in British supermarkets, after the mad cow scares. This is by my daughter's request. She's always turned her nose up at it but after having it at a friend's house, loves it. The recipe comes from Mrs Beeton's Family Cookbook. After browning the meat and onions,I bung it in the slow cooker and leave it on all day. Serve with mashed potatoes and veg.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds large, meaty oxtail pieces, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons safflower or other neutral-tasting oil
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red wine
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
1 bunch watercress, trimmed

Steps:

  • Season oxtail generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Place flour in a shallow pie pan; season with salt and pepper. Dredge oxtail in flour mixture until coated all over, shaking off excess.
  • Working in batches, sear oxtail in Dutch oven until well browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove oxtail and set aside. Wipe out Dutch oven and return oxtail to pot. Add wine and enough water to cover oxtail halfway, about 3 cups. Bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered, turning oxtail to prevent drying out. After 3 hours, add additional 2 cups water if necessary. Continue cooking until meat is tender and pulls away from bone, 3 hours more.

Cook over medium-high heat until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Return oxtail to pot and stir in watercress. Cook until oxtail is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve oxtail either on the bone or with meat removed from bone and transferred to a shallow dish. Pour reduced cooking liquid and watercress mixture over meat and serve immediately.

ROMAN BRAISED OXTAIL



Roman Braised Oxtail image

This classic Roman dish, a.k.a. coda alla vaccinara, is as luscious as short ribs-and, thanks to Tony Mantuano's recipe, just as easy to make. Just brown the oxtails, an affordable cut from the tail of a cow, then braise until tender.

Provided by Tony Mantuano

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 carrot, peeled
1/2 large yellow onion
4 ribs celery, divided, use the softer inner ribs
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced
3 pounds oxtail
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups white wine
3 cups tomato purée
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cocoa powder
3 sprigs marjoram

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set a roasting pan over medium heat. Peel and dice the carrot, onion, and half the celery (including leaves). Add oil to the roasting pan, followed by the vegetables and the pancetta. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are soft and pancetta begins to crisp up, 15 minutes.
  • Season oxtail with salt and pepper on both sides. Nestle into the roasting pan alongside the vegetables in an even layer to brown. Brown 5 minutes per side, then continue cooking another 5 minutes.
  • Remove oxtails to a platter. Add tomato paste to the roasting pan, and stir to deglaze, 1-2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add wine, and stir, making sure to scrape up all of the brown bits from the bottom, 1-2 minutes. Add tomato purée, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Place oxtails back in the pan in a single layer. Braise in the oven, uncovered, 1½ hours. (Oxtails will be braised for a total of 2 hours or more.)
  • After 1½ hours, remove oxtails from oven. Slice remaining celery stalks (including leaves) into 3-inch-by-¼-inch strips. Add celery and marjoram. Turn oxtails over. Place back in the oven to braise for 30 minutes more.
  • Oxtails are done when the meat is fork tender. To serve, place oxtails on a large platter with the sauce and the celery. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oxtails: Look for oxtails that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. Avoid oxtails that are too bony or have a lot of gristle.

  • Simmer the oxtails for a long time: Oxtails are a tough cut of meat, so they need to be cooked for a long time in order to become tender. Simmer them for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the oxtails with a variety of sides: Oxtails can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. A good option is to serve them with a creamy polenta.
