🥗Healthier: beef shank

Pork shanks are often more affordable and can provide a similar texture.

Cut the oxtails into pieces about two inches thick, preferably by a butcher.

Season the oxtails with house seasoning, which includes salt, pepper, and garlic.

Add a little bit of soy sauce to the oxtails for extra flavor.

Place a few bay leaves in the pan with the oxtails.

Add an onion, cut into petals, to the oxtails.

Add some extra garlic for flavor.

Pour a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.

Cover the pan and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).

Cook the oxtails until tender, which may take between two to four hours depending on the meat quality.

Remove the tin foil after about 30 minutes to allow the oxtails to brown.
