Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Gold the ox leg all around until it’s sealed well. Remove from fire and place in baking tray.

Pour the marinade over the beef leg in the baking tray, making sure you cover all the meat well.

Place the pineapple slices around and on top of the beef leg.

Cover the tray with tin foil and bake for 2 hours, sprinkling occasionally with juices from the tray.

After 2 hours, remove aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the beef leg is tender and golden.
