Ingredients

For the Roasted Oxtail

For the Stew:

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

For the Roasted Rutabagas:

  • 2 large rutabagas or 4-6 medium-sized turnips peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Season the oxtail with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe Dutch oven or large oven-proof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the oxtail on all sides until they develop a rich, golden color. Remove the oxtail from the pan and set them aside.
  • In the same Dutch oven, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize and deepen in flavor.
  • Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
  • Return the browned oxtail to the Dutch oven. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the oxtail braise for 2.5 to 3 hours or until they are tender and easily pull away from the bone.
  • While the oxtail is cooking, prepare the roasted rutabagas or turnips. Toss the turnip chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden and tender.
  • Once the oxtail is done, remove it from the oven and skim off any excess fat from the surface of the stew.
  • Serve the roasted oxtail stew with the roasted turnips and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful meal!
