Season the oxtail with salt on all sides and then lightly dust with flour.
Add olive oil to a large casserole dish and set over high heat.
Brown off the oxtail and seal on all sides.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, then add 3-4 bay leaves, fresh thyme, 1 can of quality diced tomatoes and 1L beef stock.
Place the lid on the casserole dish and place in to a preheated oven set to 160C for 3 hours.
Remove the roast from the oven and add baby potatoes cut in half.
Place back in the oven and roast for a further 1.5-2 hours until the oxtail is tender.
Once the oxtail is nice and tender remove and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
Serve straight on the table with fresh thyme sprinkled over the top.
