Ah the humble oxtail. It is by far, one the tastiest cuts of meat you’ll ever try. Which is hard to believe seeing how it is the tail of a cow! This bovine treat is actually very easy to cook, as long as you treat it with some care and respect.
You can’t flash fry oxtail or serve it up medium rare and expect it to be tender and juicy. Oxtail needs long slow cooking to break down all that tough collagen, fat and connective tissue. However, cooked low and slow, it will yield the softest, most tender meat you’re ever likely to have.
It’s pretty cheap as well, although in recent years the price has gone up a bit, as it’s become much more popular. My oxtail stew is a perfect winter warmer, and this recipe will happily feed 2 hungry people. If you want to feed more, then simply scale up the recipe.
