- 1 cup red wine

- Generously season Oxtails with salt and pepper then brown them in a large pot or Dutch oven in a bit of oil (about a Tbsp). Remove and set aside.
- To the same pot add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until golden and slightly softened.
- Add garlic and herbs. Saute another minute or so.
- Pour in red wine and allow to reduce a bit.
- Next add tomatoes and Oxtails back to the mix.
- Pour in enough stock to cover Oxtails.
- Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil then reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and simmer for 3 hours.
