Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Chop the carrots, onion and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.

Step 2

Preheat a Dutch oven with olive oil on medium-high heat. Brown the oxtail on all sides until it's golden brown.

Step 3

Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Add the veggies and bay leaves into the pot.

Step 4

Add the water and stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and bake the oxtail for at least 2 hours (you can bump this up to 3 hours if you have the time). You'll know they're ready when the oxtails fall off the bone easily. Enjoy!
