Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the beef bones and oxtail (or short rib pieces) in a single layer in a large roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, then flip the bones and roast for another 20–25 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides with well-caramelized surfaces.

Spread the tomato paste over the bones and return the pan to the oven for 5 minutes, until the paste darkens slightly and smells toasty.
