Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 160C (140C fan, gas 3). Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the oxtail well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, carrots and garlic to the casserole and cook for 7 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Pour in the red wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes, bay leaves and beef stock.

  4. 4

    Return the oxtail to the casserole, cover and transfer to the oven for 2.5-3 hours until the meat is falling off the bone.

  5. 5

    Lift out the oxtail, skim any excess fat from the sauce and check the meat has no pink remaining before serving.
