- FOR SOUP - Lightly flour the oxtail. Brown with little oil over a medium heat. Remove from pan and set aside. Cut the veg into 1cm dice and cook gently in the same pan till soft. Add your favourite beer to de glaze the pan and reduce the liquid by half. Put the browned ox tail back in the pan along with the stock. Simmer gently for 1 hours then add the white beans. Cook for a further 2 hours or until the oxtail and the beans are cooked. Remove the oxtail and pick the meat of the bone and add back into the soup.Season to taste. The soup is best left over night in the fridge for the flavour to develop. Also the fat will rise to the top and set so you can simply lift it off.
