Braised Oxtail Recipe
This Braised Oxtail recipe slowly cooks oxtails with baby potatoes, carrots, onion, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and water in a covered Dutch oven. The long baking time tenderizes the oxtail until it falls off the bone, while the vegetables absorb flavors and soften. The method creates a rich, savory dish with hearty, melt-in-the-mouth meat and tender root vegetables.
