Rabo encendido is a Cuban stew made in a flavorful broth and slow-cooked until oxtail is tender and juicy. It’s savory, rich, hearty, and all the comforting flavors that remind you of home.
Season all sides of the oxtail with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, brown the oxtail in oil on all sides. You may have to do this in batches. Remove from pot and set aside.
Stir in broth, wine, tomato sauce, spices, and meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. After an hour, stir. Cook for 1 more hour at low heat.
