Number Of Ingredients 22

OXTAILS
5 pounds oxtail pieces (each about 2 to 3 inches thick; about 16 pieces total)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 750-ml bottle dry red wine
3 medium carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 large bunch Italian parsley
6 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
3 teaspoons peanut oil
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large shallots, chopped
8 garlic cloves, chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 3/4 cups beef stock or canned beef broth
VEGETABLES
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 medium carrots (about 10 ounces), peeled, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
10 ounces pearl onions (about 25 to 30), blanched 2 minutes, drained, peeled
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • FOR OXTAILS: Place oxtails in heavy large pot; sprinkle with peppercorns and salt. Add red wine, carrots, onion, parsley, thyme and bay leaf. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 350. Using tongs, transfer oxtails to large bowl. Strain marinade, reserving vegetables and marinade separately. Heat oil in very large ovenproof pot over high heat. Pat oxtails dry. Working in batches, add oxtails to pot and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to large bowl. Add drained vegetables, celery, shallots and garlic to pot; saute until beginning to soften, about 9 minutes. Return meat to pot. Pour marinade over meat-vegetable mixture. Bring to boil. Add both stocks and bring to boil. Cover pot. Transfer to oven; bake until oxtails are very tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. FOR VEGETABLES: Bring stock and 2 tablespoons butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer carrots to medium bowl. Add onions to stock mixture and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well; add onions to carrots in bowl. Meanwhile, mix remaining 2 tablespoons butter with flour in small bowl to combine. Using tongs, transfer oxtails to large serving bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Strain cooking liquid into large saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk in butter-flour mixture; simmer until thickened, whisking frequently, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over oxtails. Arrange carrots and pearl onions around oxtails. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The oxtails were very fatty and the sauce was very heavy. I would not make this again.

I love this recipe! The oxtails are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually serve it over mashed potatoes or rice.

This dish was very time-consuming to make, but it was worth it. The oxtails were fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I would definitely make this again for a special occasion.

The oxtails were a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would cook the oxtails for a longer period of time next time.
