On the hob heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy
flameproof casserole. Toss the oxtail pieces in the seasoned flour
and fry until golden, cooking in batches. Remove and place on the
side. Heat the remaining oil in the same casserole, add the celery,
onion and carrots and cook until they begin to soften slightly.
Pour on the beer and allow to bubble through, scraping the base of
the pan to deglaze. Reserve this vegetable and beer mixture.
Wipe out the
casserole with kitchen paper and layer the oxtail, vegetable and
beer mixture, tomatoes, bay leaves and garlic. Season with salt and
pepper. If necessary Bring to a gentle simmer on the hob and cook slowly for 3-3½ hours until the meat comes away from the bones. Alternatively cook for the same time in preheated oven at 140ºC/275ºF/Gas 1 Serve with: Potato and celeriac mash and roasted root vegetables. |
