Photo: Country Oxtails Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds oxtails
- House Seasoning, recipe follows
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 can beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 6 cloves garlic, large ones cut in 1/2
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/2 Vidalia onion, cut into 6 wedges
- 6 small new red potatoes, cut in 1/2
- 4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1 pot hot buttered rice
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle the oxtails liberally with House Seasoning on both sides.
Coat the bottom of a heavy oven-proof Dutch oven with the olive oil. Once heated, add the oxtails and sear on all sides. Remove and set aside. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic cloves. Stir. Add basil, oregano, bay leaves, hot sauce, tomato sauce, and the reserved oxtails. Stir to combine all ingredients together.
Cover tightly, place in oven, and bake for 2 to 3 hours.
Remove from oven and bring to a simmer on stove top. Add the sweet onion wedges, red potatoes, garlic and carrots to the pot. Cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, roughly 15 minutes.
Serve oxtails with the vegetables over hot buttered rice.
House Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

I was a bit scared, I never tasted or made ox tails. However, I trusted Paula and it was a great recipe that my family enjoyed. Don't try reducing the baking time and adding the vegs early. The tails needed all that time in the oven to become tender! Thank you Paula!

I've never had or made oxtails before... I'm glade I choose Mrs. Paula Deen's recipe. This was one of the best meals I've had so far. I didn't completely follow the recipe. I put the potatoes, onion, and carrots in the over when the oxtails had one more hour left and i cooked my oxtails on 300 degrees for 4 hours. The following two was the only things I did different from the recipe. However I would leave the basil out or put less then what the recipe calls for. Great job Mrs. Paula!
