My wife makes wonderful oxtail stew. She uses her standard braising
technique of sauteing finely chopped carrot, celery, onion and garlic.
She removes the veggies and browns the oxtail, then returns the veggies
to the pans, adds some wine and beef broth and then simmers them for a
couple hours.... not boiled. It comes off the heat, cools and goes into
the fridge overnight. The next the the fat is skimmed off and they are
heated up, juice is thickened and they are ready to go.
