Rub the oxtail with half of the salt and the black pepper, then coat it lightly in flour.
Sear the meat in olive oil for 10 minutes, until all sides take on color.
In the same pot, saute the onions, carrots, and celery stalks for 9 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes, then scrape the bottom of the pot with the red wine.
Return the meat to the pot with the beef stock, bay leaves, fresh thyme, and remaining salt.
Cook the rabo de toro in a covered pot over very low heat for 175 minutes.
Remove the meat, thicken the sauce uncovered for 8 minutes, then return the meat to the sauce.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes.
💡 Tip: Do not rush the meat into a hard boil; when it cooks at a gentle tremble, the tail meat releases from the bone without clouding the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve rabo de toro in a deep plate with mashed potatoes and a parsley green salad if desired.
