Ingredients

1 cup flour
salt
freshly-ground black pepper
5 lbs oxtails, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
2 quarts beef stock

Cooking Instructions

Season flour with salt and pepper and dredge oxtails in the flour. Heat oil in large Dutch oven, over medium heat. Add the oxtails in batches, and brown for approx. 3 minutes on all sides. Remove oxtails from the pan and set aside. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute vegetables until they start to wilt (about 6 minutes). Stir in the garlic, bay leaves and stock, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen the browned particles. Return the oxtails to the pot and cook, covered, until the sauce is stew-like and the meat starts to fall of the bone (about 2 hours).
