5. Add the smoked paprika, tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and white wine. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.

6. Add the oxtails back to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 2 hours, until the oxtails are fork-tender.

7. When the oxtails are cooked, remove them from the pot and set aside.

8. To thicken the sauce, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl.

9. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot and stir together. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes, until it has thickened.

10. To serve, place the oxtails onto a plate and spoon the sauce over them. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
