| ¼ | cup | Mustard, dijon |

Directions
In a kettle, combine the oxtails, two cups water, the beef broth, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and bay leaf; bring to a boil and braise, covered, in a 350 F. oven for 2½ hours.  Let the oxtails cool in the liquid uncovered.  Transfer the oxtails with a slotted spoon to paper towels and pat dry, and trim any excess fat. 
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mustard, Worcester sauce, cayenne, salt, and pepper.  Have the bread crumbs ready in a dredging bowl. Spread sour cream mixture over the oxtails, coating them com- pletely, and dredge in the bread crumbs.  Drizzle the margarine over the oxtails arranged in one layer on a roasting pan and broil under a preheated broiler about four inches from the heat, turning them, for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crusty.
