  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound oxtail
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 clove garlic minced

  • 2 stalk celery chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the oxtail with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the oxtail on all sides until browned, then transfer to a large pot.
  • In the same skillet, add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened.
  • Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  • Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any brown bits.
  • Pour the wine mixture into the pot with the oxtail.
  • Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot.
  • Bring the pot to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven.
  • Roast Brussels sprouts in a roasting pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender and caramelized.
  • After 2 and a half hours, remove the pot from the oven and add the roasted Brussels sprouts.
  • Return to the oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, sear the oxtail well to develop a rich, deep color before braising. Be patient with the slow cooking process, as it allows the meat to become tender and infuses the stew with robust flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, and consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for brightness.
