East Side Oxtail
Well, we're movin' on upppp! With the help of Distilled Manhattan BBQ, one of of favorite blends for braising.
INGREDIENTS
3 pounds of oxtail, cut into pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
1/3 cup diced carrot
1/4 cup diced celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon Distilled Manhattan BBQ
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 cup red wine
2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups beef stock
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325F. Pat the oxtail dry with paper towels. Season the oxtail with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Add flour to a large bowl. Transfer the oxtail to the bowl and coat each piece with an even dusting of flour.
Add the olive oil and butter to a large, heavy-bottom, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, over high heat. Once melted, transfer the floured oxtail to the pot in an even layer, allowing at least 1/4-inch space between each piece. Brown, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes. Flip oxtail to brown on the opposite side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, carrot, celery and remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften and take on a little color from the pan.
Add the garlic, Distilled Manhattan BBQ and rosemary; stir to combine.
After 30 seconds, add the red wine and increase heat to high. Reduce the wine until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the beef stock, marinara and the browned oxtail and bring to a simmer.
Cover and place into the oven to braise for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until completely tender.
