Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds beef oxtail
3 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 parsnip, sliced
1 turnip, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons brandy
6 cups water
½ teaspoon dried savory
1 bay leaf
½ cup barley
2 ounces dried mushrooms

Steps:

  • Rehydrate dried mushrooms in hot water for 30 to 45 minutes. Drain, and slice.
  • Trim all fat off oxtails. Spread on a shallow roasting pan. Roast at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Drain off fat, reserving about 2 tablespoons.
  • Add 1 cup of water to roasting pan in which oxtails were browned. Heat, stirring constantly, to dissolve browned bit. Reserve.
  • In a large stock pot, saute onion, carrots, parsnip, mushrooms and turnip in reserved fat until soft, about 10 minutes. Add browned oxtails. Drizzle brandy over the saute. Ignite.
  • Pour reserved water and browning over the oxtails and vegetables. Add remaining 5 cups of water. Add savory, bay leaf, barley, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, and then reduce heat. Cover, and simmer slowly for 2 hours. Adjust seasonings.
