Oxtail Stew in the Crockpot

Saute some onions in butter.  After a while, add the oxtail and some stew meat, and brown the meat on all sides for a few minutes.

Put into the crockpot with:
Carrots
Celery
Potatoes
6 oz. of tomato paste
broth
thyme
salt
pepper

Let the crockpot rip for 8 hours on low!

First time cooking with oxtail, it was delicious!

Beef Creation

Found out that I had accidentally defrosted some beef stew meat.  Ooops.

Creation time:
2 medium onions, sliced, caramelized in chipotle olive oil.
Throw in a couple cloves of garlic, minced.
Add the stew meat, cook until browned.
Add sliced red bell peppers, some zucchini, and some bok choy stalks.
Saute for a few minutes.
Add about 3 cups of Bone Broth
Simmer until somewhat reduced.  (~20 minutes.)

Surprisingly good for something thrown together at the last minute.

Yet another photo of my favorite pan!
