Oxtail Delivered to Your Door

A flavorful, tender cut perfect for slow cooking and hearty dishes.
Oxtail is a unique, rich cut that becomes meltingly tender when slow-cooked. Known for its deep, savory flavor, oxtail is perfect for braising, stews, soups, and even curries. The bones and marrow add richness and depth, making oxtail a favorite for those looking to create nourishing, comforting meals.

Fun Facts:

  • Oxtail is rich in collagen, which breaks down during slow cooking to create a luxurious, gelatinous texture in broths and soups.

  • A staple in many international cuisines, from Jamaican oxtail stew to Italian oxtail ragu.

  • The bone-in nature of oxtail makes it ideal for adding richness and depth to dishes.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • High in collagen and gelatin, which support joint health, skin elasticity, and gut health.

  • Rich in essential minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium, which are vital for overall health.

  • Provides a natural source of protein and amino acids, ideal for nourishing meals.

Cooking Tips:

  • Best when slow-cooked or braised for hours to extract maximum flavor and tenderness.

  • Add vegetables, herbs, and spices to enhance the broth's flavor.

  • For a deeper flavor, brown the oxtail before cooking to develop a rich, caramelized taste.

Cooking Temperature:

  • Slow cook or braise at low temperatures (250–300°F) for several hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  • For a richer broth, cook oxtail in a pressure cooker for faster results.

Schmidt Beef Reviews

I love that I have found Schmidt Beef. Now beef bundles are going to be shipped to my Colorado family as gifts from now to infinity. They grew up in Iowa so they know good beef when they taste it. My sister is some what of a steak aficionado and she says it’s the best she’s had in a great long while ( probably since she moved away from Iowa) and can’t wait to cook her next one.

My husband’s favorite food is a steak and he says these are some of the bests he’s had! Highly recommend!

We are so happy with our beef from Schmidt! We have been purchasing a 1/4 every year and this is, by far, the best one we have gotten yet! Super friendly service and delicious products!!

Top notch steaks on the grill tonight. Highly recommend!
