Ingredients

2 pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
6 cups water
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth (such as Swanson®)
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 medium unpeeled red potatoes, cubed

Directions

1 Mix oxtail, water, broth, onion, garlic, onion salt, salt, and pepper together in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat down to a simmer, and cook until meat falls from the bone, about 2 1/2 hours.
