Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds oxtail
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon browning sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 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 fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

  • Place the oxtail in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, sugar, garlic and herb seasoning, browning sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over both sides of the oxtail pieces.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the oxtail in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned oxtail to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté sliced carrots, celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the beef broth and add fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Return the oxtail and any juices to the skillet and add the butter.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 3 hours until the oxtail becomes fork tender.
  • Remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces and thickens.
