Oxtail according to grandma's recipe

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 ½ kg oxtail (pre-order from the butcher if necessary)
• 3 large onions
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ liter dry red wine
• 2 salt and pepper
• 3 tsp, heaped beef broth, granulated
• 4 tbsp ketchup
• 1 pack of tomato sauce
• 1 shot of dry sherry

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours

It is recommended to pre-order the oxtail from the butcher and have them carve it for you. Finely dice the onions and sauté in a roasting pan with olive oil until golden brown. Add the seasoned oxtail and brown, turning frequently. Deglaze with half of the red wine, stir in the beef broth and ketchup, and bring to a boil. Cover the oxtail and simmer over moderate heat until the meat easily separates from the bone; this takes a good two hours. In the meantime, add the remaining red wine and a little water, stirring frequently. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add a dash of dry sherry before serving. This goes perfectly with spaetzle or boiled potatoes. 450 kcal per serving
