Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef Oxtails
- ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions
- First, season oxtails on both sides with sea salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot, place oxtails in.
- Sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next, add in chopped onion, minced garlic, broth and red wine. Simmer covered for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, add in chopped carrots and potatoes. Simmer covered for at least 2 hours, until veggies and meat are tender. You may need to add slightly more broth as it cooks down.
- Just before serving, remove ¼ cup of the broth from the pot. Mix in a small bowl with tapioca flour. Then, pour this slurry back into the pot. Stir to thicken sauce.
- Finally, serve! Remove bones from meat.

Notes
- Beef oxtails can be difficult to find. I like to order mine online.
- Sear the oxtails on both sides to create a beautiful color.
- Oxtails are known to be tough, so continue to simmer until meat is fall off the bone tender.
- Feel free to add in a pinch of thyme or a bay leaf for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
