Instructions
1
Prep
Pat oxtail dry and season with 1 tsp salt and pepper. Dice carrot, leek, and onion. Smash garlic cloves and grate tomato.
2
Sear
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high for 1 minute. Sear oxtail in two batches, 8 minutes per batch, turning every 2 minutes, until deeply mahogany on all sides. Lift to a plate.
3
Sweat
Lower heat to medium, add carrot, leek, onion, garlic, and 0.25 tsp salt. Cook 6 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir in pimenton off the heat for 15 seconds.
4
Build
Add grated tomato and cook 4 minutes until darkened. Pour in red wine and sherry, scrape fond, and bubble over medium-high for 4 minutes until reduced by half and alcohol cooks off.
5
Braise
Return oxtail to pot with stock and bay leaves. Cover and simmer over low for 60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes, until meat slides off bone with a fork.
6
Reduce and plate
Lift oxtail to warm plates. Raise heat to medium-high and reduce sauce for 5 minutes until glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon. Taste and season with remaining 0.5 tsp salt. Spoon sauce over oxtail and serve with toasted bread.
