Dry browning the oxtails in a bit of oil first. Then toss in some chopped
celery, onion and carrot, along with a bit of garlic, then add beef broth and a
bit of tomato paste. Cover it and stick it in the oven at about 300 for a
couple hours. If you want a thicker sauce you can remove the meat, bring the
liquid to a boil and stir on some Veloutine or a gravy and water slurry/ You may
need to pour off a bit of fat first.
