Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat 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

Step

Pour 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

Step

Cover 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

Step

Allow 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)

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.

    Skimming the fat is a must – it really makes a difference in the final taste.

    I found that 8 hours on low was perfect for the oxtail to become incredibly tender.
