helewes 2 years, 10 months ago said: Here's your recipe you requested...it's olde English but delish!! Braised oxtail
11lb oxtail
17fl oz red wine /7fl oz brandy 5oz celery - sliced
12oz leeks - sliced
12oz carrots - sliced
1lb 5oz onion - sliced
1 star anise
14oz mushrooms - sliced
1lb 2oz tomatoes - halved
2-3 bay leaves
Large pinch thyme
16 black peppercorns
2kg/4½lb veal stock
4½lb chicken stock
Brown off the oxtail in a large pan, deglaze with the red wine and brandy and place to one side. Make sure that the wine and brandy are flamed.
In dripping, fry off the celery, leeks and carrots in one pan, the onion and star anise in another and mushrooms in another. All the vegetables should be coloured and almost caramelised. The tomatoes should be faced down in oil and a little sugar and caramelised; deglaze with a splash of water.
Add all ingredients together in a pressure cooker, making sure the veal and chicken stock are melted and mixed before putting the lid on.
Cook the oxtail for 1½ hours once the pressure reaches the second red line on the pressure gauge. Leave to cool naturally before passing off, reserving the meat for the puddings and the stock for the sauce - be careful to keep the meat as whole as possible.
