Instructions
1
Prep
Pat oxtail dry and season with salt and pepper. Dice onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and serrano ham. Measure cannellini beans and canned tomatoes.
2
Sear
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown oxtail segments on all sides for 8 minutes until deeply crusted. Work in batches.
3
Sweat
Add onion, carrot, celery, and serrano ham to the pot over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and ham fat renders.
4
Braise
Stir in garlic and smoked paprika, cook 1 minute. Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits, 2 minutes until reduced by half. Return oxtail, add canned tomatoes, beef stock, sherry vinegar, and bay leaf. Simmer covered on low 2.5 hours until meat pulls from bone. Stir in cannellini beans and simmer uncovered 15 minutes until sauce thickens.
5
Plate
Discard bay leaf, spoon oxtail and sauce into a bowl, scatter with parsley.
