Oxtail Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat from the oxtail pieces. Combine the oxtail with the brandy and lime juice in a large bowl and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the oxtail from the marinade, rub all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed pan, cook the oxtail in the oven, uncovered, until brown, about 30 minutes. Add the red wine and cook uncovered for 15 minutes more.
• Combine the beef broth, tomato paste, garlic powder, herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon pepper, cumin, garlic pepper, nutmeg and sage in a bowl. Add to the oxtail and mix well. Cover and cook until the meat is almost tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the celery, carrots and potatoes and cook until the meat is fully tender and the vegetables are done, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and skim any excess fat from the top using a flat wide-bottomed spoon.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1 cup cold water in a small bowl, stirring until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Stir the cornstarch into the stew and cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Season the flour with salt and pepper, then toss the oxtail in it until evenly coated. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole. Working in batches, brown the meat really well on all sides. Remove from the pan, then add the veg and garlic and fry for 3-4 mins until starting to colour. Stir in the tomato purée and herbs. Tip the meat back into the pan, pour over the wine, then crumble in the stock cube. Season, cover the pan and braise in the oven for 3 hrs until the meat is meltingly tender. Can be cooked up to 2 days ahead. If you make it ahead, chill in the fridge and lift any fat off the top before reheating.
• To make the dumplings, tip the flour and basil (reserving a few leaves for a garnish) into a food processor with a generous pinch of salt, then blitz until the basil is finely chopped. Add the butter and blitz until it's the texture of breadcrumbs, then gradually add the egg whites until everything comes together. On a floured surface, roll the dumplings into small, walnut-size balls, then cover with a tea towel until ready to cook.
• To serve, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Simmer dumplings for 15 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. While the dumplings are cooking, gently reheat the meat in the sauce. Serve a few chunks of meat in a soup bowl with a few dumplings, drizzled with olive oil and scattered with a few basil leaves.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the oxtails with a good pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Add half of the oxtails to the hot oil and cook until well browned on each side, about 8 minutes total. Use tongs to remove the seared oxtail to a large plate or bowl, then repeat with the remaining oxtails; remove.
• Add the celery, carrots and onion to the pot and cook until just tender, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it turns brick red in color, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, then stir until combined. Stir in the beef broth, allspice, thyme, bay leaves, brown sugar, and Worcestershire until combined. Cut an "X" in the pointy end of the chile (opposite the stem) with a small paring knife, then add to the pot.
• Return the browned oxtails to the pot, making sure all the pieces are submerged in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, until the meat is very tender and nearly falling off the bone, about 3 hours.
