Korean Oxtails

• 4 pounds oxtails
• 2 tablespoons veg oil
• 2 sweet onions, sliced
• 1 cup soju or sake
• 1 asian or regular pear, sliced (canned is OK)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons gochuchang (not optional!)
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh red chili paste (or more to taste)
• 2-3 dried red chilies
• 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• 1/2 cup good quality soy sauce
• 1 quart beef stock
• s&p

1. season the oxtails with the salt and pepper
2. heat the oil in a heavy pot, and brown the oxtails
3. remove the oxtails, and caramelize the onions/pears in the same pan.
4. deglaze with the soju or sake.
5. add all other ingredients (enough liquid to cover)... remove to a crock pot to cook on high for 4-5 hours or, alternately, cover the pan and cook in the oven at 325 for the same amount of time.
6. serve with jasmine rice and kimchee.
