Colombian oxtail stew or rabo encendido is a hearty and flavorful dish that's sure to warm you up on a cold day. This classic Colombian dish is made with oxtails, vegetables, and a flavorful broth. The oxtails add a rich and beefy flavor to the stew, while the vegetables provide a pop of color and nutrients. The broth is typically made with red wine, tomatoes, and spices, and is what gives the stew its characteristic red color. Rabo encendido is often served with rice, potatoes, or yuca, and is a popular dish to serve at special occasions.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose meaty oxtails for a richer flavor. Look for oxtails that are at least 2 inches thick and have a good amount of meat on them.
- Brown the oxtails in batches to get a nice sear on all sides. This will help develop the flavor of the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew to add flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Add red wine or beer to the stew for extra flavor. You can also add other seasonings, such as bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.
- Let the stew simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
