Anyone cook oxtails?

My husband had some at work last week, he said they were good. I bought some. Just wondering if anyone has a good way of fixing them. I got recipes on the food net, but if you have a better one I would try it. I read that they have to cook at least 2-3 hours. Or use a pressure cooker.

Kinda like lamb shanks in that they need to be cooked long and slow with a nice flavorful broth and maybe aromatics (veggies and herbs) Brown them well first, remove from pan as they brown......don't rush this, do one or two at a time. Then saute your onions, garlic, plus whatever. Add your broth or wine, put back in the tails and put into a low oven, 275, for a couple of hours. Pressure cooker works OK for a first time experiment, just remember not too much liquid as you don't want to be boiling them. (yes, you have to brown them first as well)
I've never cooked them myself, but I've watched Paula Deen do it several times on her shows. She says it is her husband's favorite thing she cooks. I've always had good success with her recipes, so I'd be inclined to try it.
I've never tried it either!
