Directions
- Heat the duck fat (or your preferred choice of fat) in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season the short ribs with sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder and brown in the duck fat on all sides. Transfer to the bottom of the crock pot and brown the oxtails on all sides.
- Chop the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in large chunks and add to the top of the meat in the crock pot.
- Pour in the beef broth and sherry vinegar over the vegetables, add the bay leaf and top everything off with a shake of dried thyme.
- Cook everything on high for 6-8 hours. If after 6 hours the meat is tender enough, remove from heat and serve. If the meat isn’t falling off the bone yet let it cook longer.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- Enjoy!
