Braised oxtail with red wine, tomato and baby carrot!
Braised oxtail in a kick’in tomato soup! the answer that i said once my mom asked what i’m craved before my thesis examination. Braised beef always comfort my days. Melted and tender meat with a rich broth can save me from my nervous and forgot a little about the exam that i’m gonna facing up that days.My family is a big oxtail lover and we used to had a clear oxtail soup or semur buntut (oxtail soup with sweet soy sauce). We usually cut it one and a half inches thick and slow cooked it until the meat is suckable instead of chewable.
Well, actually the braised oxtail in rick tomato broth or sup buntut bumbu tomat are really works for me. Thanks God that i passed the test with honour. I’m officially become a dentist co-assistant and need to catch up my clinical requirement for next two years to become a professional dentist. Wish me luck within my dental college clinical courses program.

I you want to make a rich and a deep tomato broth, you should use sun dried tomato. I use my unblanched homemade sun dried tomato, that’s why the broth got rather dark color. Becarefull when you pour the dark soy sauce into the soup since i pour it without spoon. This made the broth ever darker.
