Oxtail. Because Teagen asked us, and because it is scrumptious.

Oxtail is the culinary name for the tail of cattle. Formerly, it referred only to the tail of an ox or steer, but now a more universal term. One oxtail typically weighs a little bit under a kilo, and is cut into short lengths for easier preparation and cooking.
Definitely one for the slow-cooker, it has a robust flavour that pairs well with bold herbs and spices and good red wine.
Note: Oxtail is sold as a whole piece, though it is portioned up ready for cooking. They are vacuum packed and frozen for purchase.
Try:
- This Asian influenced braised oxtail that falls off the bone
- A traditional slow-cook with tomatoes, rosemary and red wine, with gremolata for a twist
- Oxtail. Dumplings. Mushrooms. Soup. You had us at dumplings.
