Oxtail Stew from Katherine
Degree of difficulty:
Preparation time:
Ingredients
2 kilos of good meaty oxtail
2 tps spoons of oil
1 diced onion
1 tsp of chopped garlic
1 tsp of chopped ginger
a few dollops of tomato paste (roughly 3 tsp spoons and a bit more)
2 cups of beef stock
1 cubed turnip
1 cubed swede or parsnip
1 diced carrot
2 cubed potatoes
Method
- trim the oxtail of extra fat (don't mind a little fat)
- in a large pot, fry oxtails in oil until brown and cooked through
- remove from pot
- placed diced ginger, onion and garlic in pot with meat juices and cook until onions are brown and soft
- throw in dollops of tomato paste and mix well
- return oxtails to the pot and add 1/2 cup of beef stock and keep mixing over heat
- add all the chopped up vegies to the meat mixture
- add remaining stock and cook until vegies are cooked
- for a more tender meat, stew for a longer period. You may have to add a cup or two of beef stock/water to prevent drying out
Not that's all it is - really simple recipe with the best bits of the animal that no one buys at the butcher any more. Lots of texture and flavour - enjoy
