How To Make The Best Sunday Oxtails Ever

oxtails

🥗Healthier: beef shank

💰Cheaper: pork shanks

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

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Season the oxtails with salt and black pepper.

In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Sear the oxtails on all sides until browned, then remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté until softened.

Stir in tomato paste and cook for a few minutes.

Return the oxtails to the pot and add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven.

Cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Remove oxtails and strain the sauce, discarding solids.

Serve oxtails with the sauce over rice or mashed potatoes.
