Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg oxtail (Good quality meat is essential)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cans beer
  • Vegetables of your choice
  • Fresh herbs of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven 180 degrees.
  • Place the meat in desired oven dish depending on which cooking method you will be using. Sprinkle plenty of Worcestershire sauce over the meat ensuring all pieces are covered. Add the beer and cover.
  • Slow cooker/Crock pot: In the morning add all the ingredients to the pot, switch on and leave. Now you can just dream about your dinner tonight.
  • Pressure cooker: It's late and all of a sudden you need to calm your taste buds and you know oxtail stew will do just that. Luckily you have a pressure cooker that will cut the cooking time by more than two thirds.
  • Oven: This is my preferred method of cooking oxtail. Prepare the pot at dinner time. Cook for three hours in the oven, then switch off the oven and let it stew or turn the oven to 100 degrees and let it stew overnight.
  • Add your vegetables 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with fresh herbs when serving with mashed potatoes or rice.
