Feed your family and save on the washing up with this hearty one-pot Easy Braised Oxtail recipe. This oxtail recipe embraces everything I love about slow cooking—simple yet hearty ingredients that come together in one pot to create a meal that feels both indulgent and homey. As the oxtail gently simmers in the oven, it transforms into tender morsels that practically melt in your mouth while the savory aroma fills your kitchen, inviting everyone to gather around the table. Perfect for a Sunday dinner with family, this dish celebrates the beauty of slow-cooked comfort and is a wonderful way to explore a cut of meat that is both economical and delicious.
This dish, much like any good braise, can be made up to five days ahead. In fact, the flavors deepen with time, making it even more delicious when you’re ready to serve it.
To make the Easy Braised Oxtail you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. In the meantime, cut 3 carrots, 1 onion, and 1 pound baby potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
On the stovetop over medium-high heat, preheat a large Dutch oven with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the oxtail pieces and brown on all sides, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
Season the beef generously with 2 tablespoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add in the chopped vegetables and 3 bay leaves. Pour in 4 cups water and stir well to combine.
Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and transfer to the oven. Bake for at least 2 hours or up to 3 hours if you have the time. Once the oxtails fall off the bone easily they are ready.
Serve hot and enjoy!
