Ox Tail in Red Wine


ulie and I simply love this dish.  I remember we have made ox tail in red wine several times.  It is quite simple.  I would like to share it with my fellow boomers.  Ok, let start:

Ingredients

ox tail (beef tail)               3 pounds
red wine                            2 cups
salt                                    1 teaspoon
onions (cut up)                 2
crushed garlic                  2
chopped celery                2 cups
carrots (cut up)               3
water                                2 cups
ginger                               5 slices
tomatoes (cut up)          5
green onion                     2 stalks
red  pepper                    2


Method

1. wash ox tail chunks  clean with cold tap water
2. put the ox  tail chunks into  a pot  of  cold water.  Boil them  with  gingers (2 slices)  green onion (2 stalks) and cooking wine (1 tablespoon)  until they boil for  another 10 minutes.   Now  the ox  tail chunks are cleaned  with no blood smell (taste) and ready  for  the third step,
3. stir fry the ox tail chunks  on the wok for another 5 minutes with a tiny bit of vegetable oil only.
4. Now prepare a pot with 2 cups of red wine, 2 cups of water  add on the carrots  and  red onions, tomatoes, red pepper and celery as well as  the ox tail chunks and  boil them  for  about  2 hours.
5.  Now, the Red Wine Braised Ox Tail is done and ready to serve.

Is it simple?   We would share with you more cooking next week.  Healthy eating.
