For an even richer flavor, consider searing the oxtail in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, to complement the beef. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the vegetables before adding the tomatoes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add oxtail and onion; cook until oxtail is browned on all sides, approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer oxtail and onion to a slow cooker. (Total time: 15-20 minutes)
02
StepPour red wine into the skillet and bring to a boil, deglazing the pan by scraping the browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour wine mixture into the slow cooker; add enough water to fully cover the oxtail and vegetables. (Total time: 5-7 minutes)
03
StepCover and cook on Low heat setting for 8 hours. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and green beans; continue cooking for another 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. (Total time: 12 hours)
04
StepAllow the soup to cool slightly, then refrigerate until the fat has risen to the top and solidified, usually about 1 hour. Skim off the solidified fat. Stir in the stewed tomatoes. Reheat gently before serving. (Total time: 1 hour + reheating)
