Braised Oxtail – Beef Veal Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

1 oxtail (jointed)

oil

2 onions, peeled

2 carrots, peeled and quartered

3 sticks celery, cut in 2-inch lengths

1 tablespoon plain flour

1 pint stock or water

bouquet garni

salt and pepper

Set the oven at 350F or Mark 4. Brown the pieces of tail all over

in hot oil in a flameproof casserole. Take out and put in the

onions, carrots and celery. Leave to brown lightly then dust in

the flour. Remove from heat, add the liquid, bring to the boil,

add bouquet garni and seasoning. Put in the tail, cover casserole

tightly and cook in the preset oven for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours or

until tender (when the meat will come easily off the bone). Remove

the bouquet garni and serve meat very hot.

Hint: Sometimes oxtail is inclined to be fatty so it is a good plan

to cook it the day before, leave to go cold, then skim off the

solidified fat. Reheat for serving.
