Technique to learn

Braising

Browning meat in fat before simmering gently in liquid in a closed pot to break down tough connective tissues into rich gelatin.

Instructions

Step 1: Season beef oxtail pieces thoroughly with black pepper and dust lightly with all-purpose flour.

Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear oxtails on all sides until deeply browned, about 8 minutes, then set aside.

Step 3: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauteing for 3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4: Pour in beef broth and halal worcestershire sauce, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 5: Return oxtails to the pot, stir in dried thyme, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly.

Step 6: Simmer gently for 1 hour 45 minutes until oxtails are meat-tender and pulling away from the bone.

Step 7: Stir in drained butter beans and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to warm beans and thicken the rich gravy.

Cooking tips

Browning oxtails thoroughly builds the rich color and deep flavor base of the gravy.
If gravy is too thin, simmer uncovered for an extra 5 to 10 minutes near the end.
