Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ pounds oxtail
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning such as Spike®
  • 1 teaspoon browning sauce such as Grace®
  • ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, arrange the oxtail. In a small bowl, mix some soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, garlic and herb spice, browning sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  • Apply the soy sauce mixture evenly to the oxtail on both sides; remove any excess.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtail in heated oil, about 3 minutes on each side; remove to a plate and put aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the celery, carrots, onion, and garlic until they are tender, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Bring the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to a boil.
  • Blend in the oxtail together with its juices and butter. Simmer, covered, over low heat for three hours, or until the oxtail reaches fork tenderness.
  • Raise the heat to high while uncovered. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces.

Notes

  • Flavor Soak: Marinate oxtail thoroughly for a rich taste.
  • Quick Sear: Briefly search for a caramelized texture.
  • Veg Precision: Sauté veggies until tender for balance.
  • Slow Simmer: Patiently simmer in the herb-infused broth.
  • Bold Finish: Uncover, raise the heat, and thicken the sauce for restaurant-worthy perfection.
