Ingredients
1 kg Ochsenschwanz (oxtail)
800 g Kartoffeln (potatoes), peeled and chopped into chunks
2 Zwiebeln (onions), chopped
2 Karotten (carrots), sliced
3 Knoblauchzehen (garlic cloves), minced
1 Liter Rinderbrühe (beef broth)
2 EL Tomatenmark (tomato paste)
2 EL Olivenöl (olive oil)
2 TL Salz (salt)
1 TL Pfeffer (pepper)
2 Zweige Rosmarin (rosemary)
2 Lorbeerblätter (bay leaves)
1 EL Mehl (flour) (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the oxtail on all sides until a crust forms. Remove and set aside.
-
Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot, sautéing until softened (5-7 minutes).
-
Stir in tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes until deepened in color.
-
Return oxtail to the pot, pour in beef broth, and add rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
-
Add the potatoes to the pot for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
-
To thicken the sauce, remove oxtail and vegetables, and simmer liquid. Optional: Mix flour with water and add to the sauce for thickening.
-
Serve oxtail and potatoes with the sauce poured over.
Notes
-
To enhance the dish, try adding parsnips, celery, or other root vegetables.
-
For a vegetarian option, replace the oxtail with hearty vegetables like mushrooms or seitan.
-
To make the sauce richer, use beef short ribs or shank instead of oxtail.
