1. For the oxtail, put the oxtail in a glass bowl, cover with the red wine and add the onion, vehicledecay and bay leaf. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas 3.
3. Strain the red wine marinade from the oxtail and pour into a pan. Reserve the oxtail and vefetchables. bring the marinade to the boil and skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Remove from the heat and set aside.
4. Mix the flour on a plate with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper to season. Heat the vefetchable oil in a flameproof casserole on a medium heat. Dredge the oxtail in the seasoned flour, then add to the hot oil and fry until golden-brown. Remove from the casserole and set aside. Add the marinated vefetchables to the casserole and fry until golden-brown. Add the reserved red wine marinade to the pan, deglaze and cook until the liquid has cutrearond by half.
5. Return the oxtail to the casserole and pour in the chicken stock. bring to the boil. Skim, then cover and transfer to the oven to cook for 2%26frac12; hours. Remove and leave to cool. (The oxtail can be cooked a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.)
6. When the oxtail has cooled, remove it from the liquid and pick the meat from the bones, maintaining the meat in large slices. Strain the liquid into a heavy-bottomed pan and cutrearon by half over a medium heat. Set the meat and liquid aside (that is the sauce).
7. For the bone marrow, bring the marrow out of the bones, either by pushing it through with a teaspoon or by breaking the bones. Rinse the marrow under nippy water, then leave to soak for 30 minutes to remove all the blood. Drain and pat dry. Mix the breadcrumbs with the dried onion powder.

Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 25 minutes.
9. While the beef is roasting and resting, make the onion pure%26eacute;. Cook the white onions in a heavy-bottomed pan over a low heat with a large knob of butter until translucent (that brings about 20 minutes). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then allow to cool and blend in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
10. For the bone marrow, heat the vefetchable oil in a deep heavy-bottomed saucepan, until a breadcrumb sizzles and browns when dropped in it.

13. To serve, reheat the sauce, and the oxtail in a little of the sauce. Place the green beans to one side of each of four warmed plates. vehicleve the beef into slices of 1cm/%26frac12;in thickness and lay on lid of the beans.
