Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 pounds beef oxtail
3 medium carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups beef stock
1 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 bay leaves
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Heat oil in a cast iron casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add oxtail and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer oxtail to a plate.
Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chili powder, and pepper to the casserole. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add oxtail back to the casserole, then add beef stock and red wine. Bring to a boil.
Stir in flour and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Add bay leaves and submerge in the sauce. Add mushrooms.
Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 2 hours. Serve in the casserole dish.

Cook's Note:

For a thicker sauce, use more flour.
