Author's Notes

Sometimes I will cook the oxtails on the stove for about an hour after adding all ingredients. When the oxtails start to brown a bit I place them in the slow cooker on low for another 4-5 hours. But my supermarket cuts them about 3-inches thick, that is why I need to cook them longer.

Keep warm at 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) in the oven until dinner.

Rinse Oxtail (1) in water. Marinade oxtails with the Distilled White Vinegar (4 Tbsp), Red Wine (4 Tbsp), Adobo Seasoning (2 Tbsp), Garlic (1 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp). Marinade in the fridge overnight if possible or at least 2 hours.
