Introduction
Savory braised oxtails are the definition of comfort food—rich, hearty, and deeply flavorful. Slow cooking transforms the oxtails into tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, while aromatic herbs and spices create a luxurious, velvety sauce that elevates the entire dish.

- 2–3 pounds oxtails, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped

- 1 cup red wine
- 3 cups beef broth
