SLOW COOKER (CROCK POT) OXTAIL BARLEY SOUP



Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Oxtail Barley Soup image

This is a soup my mother fixed often when I was a child. It's not easy to find oxtails but the search is definitely worth it. I had a friend once who bought a side of beef and was going to throw away the tail. I snatched them out of her hand and hugging them to my chest, ran home and made oxtail soup. I brought her a bowl and after much hesitation she tried it. That was the last time she gave me these choice bones.

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lbs oxtails, split into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
3 pints beef stock
1 carrot, peeled and cut into thin slices
1 stalk celery, cut into thin slices
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup chopped tomato (canned is fine)
1 cup red wine (cabernet or merlot)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 peppercorns
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter, add pieces of tail in a large stockpot.
  • When the meat begins to brown, add onion.

  • Remove herbs.
  • Separate meat of the oxtail from the bones; discard bones.
  • Reheat soup and serve with a little of the meat in each bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose oxtails that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. This will help to give the soup a rich flavor.
  • Brown the oxtails before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to develop their flavor and give the soup a darker color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
  • Add a bay leaf or two to the soup for extra flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the soup on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. This will allow the oxtails to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
