Instructions
1
Trim as much excess fat as possible from the pieces of oxtail then brown them
all over in the oil.
2
Remove and put to one side while you lightly brown the onion, then add the
garlic without letting it brown. Pour on a little wine or ale and scrape up any
browned bits sticking to the pan. Stir in the mustard and add the orange zest,
bay leaf and juniper berries. Return the oxtail to the pan, pour on the
remaining liquid, bring to the boil, skim, cover and barely simmer for 3-4
hours.
3
Remove the oxtail from the sauce. Cool it rapidly, cover and refrigerate
overnight. Do the same with the sauce, sieving it first.
4
Next day, lift off and discard from the sauce the fat, which will have
solidified in a layer on the top. Remove the meat from the bone. Put meat and
sauce together into a saucepan and reheat gently.
5
Mix the flour with a little water and stir it into the sauce together with a
sprinkling of sugar, the spirit and seasoning to taste.
6
Make sure the meat is thoroughly reheated and serve piping hot. Dumplings, rice
or broad noodles are just the thing with oxtail stew, but mashed potatoes are
very good with it too.
