Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 1/2 pounds oxtails
Paprika
All purpose flour
6 bacon slices, chopped
2 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
4 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon plus 2 teaspoons dried
2 cups dry red wine
1 28-ounce can Italian tomatoes, drained
1 14 1/2-ounce can beef broth
3/4 pound sugar snap peas

Steps:

  • Sprinkle oxtails with paprika, salt and pepper. Coat with flour. Cook bacon in heavy Dutch oven over medium heat until fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon, using slotted spoon and reserve. Increase heat to high. Working in batches, add oxtails and cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer oxtails to plate.
  • Add onions and garlic to Dutch oven, reduce heat to medium and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Mix in tomato paste and 4 teaspoons rosemary. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, breaking up with spoon, Add broth. Return oxtails with any juices and bacon to Dutch oven. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.)
  • Add sugar snap peas to oxtails. Simmer stew uncovered until peas are just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle stew with 2 tablespoons rosemary.
