Fall-Off-The-Bone Oxtail and Red Wine Stew

After 3 hours of slow-cooking, the oxtail is so tender yet not falling apart. The meat falls off the bone as you eat it, best served with some creamy mashed potato to soak up the beautiful red wine sauce. One tip I have after making this red wine stew so many times is, you have…
