Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Wash and dry 1 kg oxtail, salt and pepper the pieces both sides.

Preheat oven to 284°F (140°C).

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Put the oxtail pieces in a cooking bag or an ovenproof dish with a lid (casserole), pour 1 glass red wine over, and add herbs.

Stage 3 - 4 hours
Oxtail Parmentier
Put in the oven for 4 hours.

The happy owners of bread ovens can cook it, after bread baking, overnight.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
After 4 hours, take out the oxtail pieces which will be transformed into "confit".

Stage 5 - 10 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Separate all good meat from bones and nerves, which you discard.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Strain cooking juices and set aside.

Stage 7 - 40 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Prepare 600 g potato purée.

Everything so far (purée, meat and meat juices) can be easily prepared beforehand, even 2 or 3 days before, and kept in sealed containers in the frige.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Assemble the Parmentier:

Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C).

In small individual dishes or a family one, put a layer of oxtail meat.

Pour over a tablespoon of meat juices.

Stage 9 - 3 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Add a good layer of purée to cover the meat completely.

Stage 10 - 3 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Sprinkle with grated cheese to taste.

Stage 11 - 30 min.
Oxtail Parmentier
Put in the oven until the top is nicely browned.
Remarks
Oxtail is a really delightful and cheap meat, but which needs long cooking. It is this slow stewing which develops its flavour and gives this "confit" look.

If you have meat left over from this, you can enjoy it cold, in vinaigrette, mixed with a green salad and herbs, it's a treat.
