Ginger Oxtail Stew With Potatoes Food

OXTAIL STEW

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat from the oxtail pieces. Combine the oxtail with the brandy and lime juice in a large bowl and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the oxtail from the marinade, rub all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed pan, cook the oxtail in the oven, uncovered, until brown, about 30 minutes. Add the red wine and cook uncovered for 15 minutes more.
• Combine the beef broth, tomato paste, garlic powder, herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon pepper, cumin, garlic pepper, nutmeg and sage in a bowl. Add to the oxtail and mix well. Cover and cook until the meat is almost tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the celery, carrots and potatoes and cook until the meat is fully tender and the vegetables are done, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and skim any excess fat from the top using a flat wide-bottomed spoon.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1 cup cold water in a small bowl, stirring until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Stir the cornstarch into the stew and cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

GINGER OXTAIL STEW WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oil over high heat in a very sturdy saucepan. Meanwhile, trim any surrounding fat from the pieces of oxtail. Then, place them in one layer in the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium, partly cover the pan (about three-quarters of the way) to reduce the possibility of splattering, and cook for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is brown on all sides. Discard any fat that has accumulated in the pan.
• Place the onion, garlic, ginger pieces and 1 cup of the water in the bowl of a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Add the mixture to the saucepan with the remaining cup of water, the salt, cinnamon, chili powder and soy sauce. Mix well, bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil very gently for two hours.
• Transfer the pieces of oxtail from the pan to a plate, and remove and discard as much fat as possible from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Return the meat to the pan along with the mushrooms. Mix well; then, arrange the potato slices on top of the stew in the pan. Bring the mixture to a strong boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes.
• Divide the potato slices among six plates, and place an oxtail on top of the potatoes on each. Spoon some sauce over the meat and potatoes, and sprinkle on some chopped herbs, if desired. Serve.
