Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds oxtail

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the oxtail pieces and brown them on all sides to develop flavor and seal in juices.

  7. Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, and thyme.

  9. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
