Oxtail recipe

 INGREDIENTS :

1kg Oxtail

1 onion finely chopped

2 stalks celery finely chopped

2 garlic cloves finely chopped

3 Bay Leaves (optional) 

2 sprigs rosemary

2 carrots chopped 

1 cup red wine

2 tblsp tomato paste 

1 tbsp Knorrox  beef stock powder dissolved in 1 cup water

1 cup water 

salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Season the oxtail generously with salt. In a large pot set over high heat, brown the oxtail in batches.

Remove and set aside. Add the onions, celery and cook until golden and just starting to soften.

Add the garlic and herbs and sauté for another minute.

Add the red wine and allow to reduce slightly.

Add tomato paste and the oxtail back to the pot.

Pour in the stock, just enough to cover the oxtail. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring up to a boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes if the oxtail needs more stock/water and top up as needed. Then stir in butter beans, simmer for 15minutes. 

Enjoy!
