Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, combine the oxtail, beef stew meat, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Add enough water to the pot to ensure all ingredients are fully submerged. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Stir in the beef bouillon cubes and season generously with freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

04

Step
3 hrs

Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the oxtail and beef are incredibly tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally, and add more water if needed to maintain the desired consistency. (180 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more pepper or bouillon if desired. (2 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the oxtail and beef stew meat in a separate pan before adding them to the stockpot.
Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Other great additions include turnips, parsnips, or bell peppers.
If you don't have beef bouillon cubes, you can substitute with beef broth or stock.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I used bone-in short ribs instead of oxtail and it was equally delicious.
