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.

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.
