Oxtail is a tough cut of meat, but with a long, slow cook, it becomes an incredibly tender, juicy and flavourful dish. Slow cooker braised oxtail is a classic comfort food that can be served with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or even polenta. This slow cooker oxtail recipe is a great way to make a hearty and flavourful dinner that requires minimal effort.

Ingredients

2 kg (4.4 lb) oxtail
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup red wine
3 cups beef stock
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Start by seasoning the oxtail with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the oxtail for about 8 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Transfer the oxtail to the slow cooker.

Add the onion, garlic, paprika, oregano and bay leaves to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is softened. Add the carrots and celery and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half. Pour the vegetables and wine over the oxtail in the slow cooker.

Add the beef stock to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone. Remove the oxtail from the slow cooker and shred the meat off the bones. Discard the bones and return the shredded oxtail to the slow cooker. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Notes

It’s important to brown the oxtail before adding it to the slow cooker, as this will help to add flavour and colour to the dish. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but the dish won’t be as flavourful. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this recipe in the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and cook the oxtail in a covered Dutch oven for 3-4 hours, or until the oxtail is tender.
