Oxtail Stew — South Africa
Oxtail Stew: Slow-braised oxtail in red wine and stock, resulting in a rich, gelatinous sauce, a comforting South African dish.
Foods: Oxtail Stew
- 280.00 ml Oxtail jointed through vertebrae (extreme collagen content produces the most gelatine-rich beef braise; sauce sets to firm jelly when cold; 3–4h braise until meat completely falls off the bone)
- 150.00 ml Red wine and beef stock (the braising liquid — reduces over 3–4h to deeply glossy gelatinous intense sauce; associated with cold Cape and Karoo winters)
- 80.00 g Tomato, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves and coriander seeds (the Afrikaner braising aromatics — coriander seed appears again; the defining South African spice in braised as well as grilled preparations)
