Julie Tan Instagram – 🍷 JULIE’S SLOW COOKER OXTAIL STEW 🍷
My go-to comfort food for cozy rainy days! Perfectly tender, deeply flavorful, and absolutely soul-warming.
Here’s how I make it 👇
Ingredients:
3–4 lbs oxtail
Salt & pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine 🍷
4 cups beef stock
1 can diced tomatoes
Bay leaves, thyme, rosemary
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp brown sugar
Method:
1️⃣ Sear – Pat oxtail dry, season generously, then sear in hot oil until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté – In the same pot, soften onion, carrots, and celery. Add garlic and tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
3️⃣ Transfer – Place seared oxtail and veggie mix into the slow cooker. Pour in red wine, beef stock, diced tomatoes, and all herbs and spices.
4️⃣ Slow Cook – Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
5️⃣ Serve – Skim off any excess fat. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy! 🥖
