- Cover with lid and cook in pre-heated oven for 31/2-4 hrs, till meat is falling from bones.
- Remove oxtail from casserole with slotted spoon and keep warm. Strain casserole juices into clean pan, pressing vegetables well with back of ladle or possibly draining spoon to extract all possible flavour. At this point the casserole could be refrigerated overnight to allow fat to solidify, and then be removed. Re-heat oxtail and sauce.
- Bring sauce to boil and season to taste. Skin off as much fat as possible. Sauce should be deep in colour, rich and unctuous.
- Serve oxtail with sauce poured over and with mashed potatoes.
