Oxtail And Red Wine Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Simmer the red wine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Meanwhile, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Dredge the oxtail in the seasoned flour, and shake off excess; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown the oxtail on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the oxtails from the pan and set aside. Turn the heat to medium-low and melt another 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Stir in the shallots, garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, parsley, beef broth, and reduced red wine. Place the browned oxtail on top of the vegetables in a single layer, then bring to a boil.
• Cover with a tight fitting lid or aluminum foil, then bake in preheated oven until the oxtail is very tender and nearly falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• Once the oxtail is tender, remove the meat to a serving dish, cover, and keep warm. Strain the remaining braising liquid through a mesh strainer into a saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced to 2 cups. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and pour over the oxtail to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a 4- to 6-quart heavy saucepan boil wine until reduced by about half (about 3 1/4 cups). Trim oxtails and pat dry. Season oxtails with salt and pepper. In a deep heavy ovenproof kettle just large enough to hold oxtails in one layer heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and brown half of oxtails on all sides, transferring to a bowl. Brown remaining oxtails in 1 tablespoon butter in same manner and transfer to bowl. Coarsely chop shallots, garlic, carrots, leeks, onion, and celery. Add vegetables to kettle and cook in 1 tablespoon butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened.
• Arrange oxtails over vegetables and add reduced wine, herbs, and enough broth to just cover oxtails. Bring liquid to a boil and braise oxtails, covered, in middle of oven 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until meat is very tender but not falling off the bone. Transfer oxtails with a slotted spoon to a bowl and keep warm. Pour braising liquid through a fine sieve into a large saucepan and discard solids. Boil liquid until thick, shiny, and reduced to about 1 3/4 cups and whisk in remaining tablespoon butter.
• Serve oxtails and sauce with celery root puree or mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Bring oxtails to room temperature and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear oxtails, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side, then remove from the skillet.
• Add carrots, celery, and onion to the pan. Saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, then remove from the skillet.
• Pour 1/2 cup red wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Return oxtails and vegetables back to the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to low, and sweat the mixture until juices have been released, about 20 minutes.
• Combine remaining wine, beef broth, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme in a slow cooker. Add oxtail-vegetable mixture and cook on High until meat is fork-tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss turnips and parsnips with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.
• Roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove oxtails from the slow cooker. Pull meat away from the bones, shredding meat and discarding any bits of fat and gristle. Pour liquid from the slow cooker through a mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing against the vegetable solids to mash them and push them through.
• Return strained liquid to the slow cooker and cook on High until reduced by about half, 30 to 45 minutes. Add roasted vegetables, oxtail meat, and parsley. Cook on Low until flavors have blended, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
