Beef Oxtail
Beef Oxtail
In the past, oxtails came from oxen, but today they are the tails of beef cattle or veal, carefully prepared for maximum flavor. Consumed for centuries, oxtails were historically prized for making hearty soups that stretched limited meat with vegetables, turning every part of the animal into a nourishing meal. Today, oxtail soup remains a beloved comfort food enjoyed worldwide.

The dark colour and deep flavour of a really old-fashioned oxtail soup is the result of lengthy bubbling of the bones and meat with root veg in rich beef stock. After a good two or three hours of gently simmering, the fat and marrow will have melted away and the meat will have fallen from the bone, creating the richest heartiest soup. For a nostalgic stew, with a dense, sticky gravy, oven cook the oxtail for four or five hours in stock and red wine with tomatoes and woody herbs. Add broad beans, scotch bonnet chilli and earthy nutmeg for a traditional Jamaican alternative.

The tail of a free-ranging cow is a crucial piece of equipment and does a lot of swishing during it's life. It'll swish to see off flies, to express contentment or signal irritation. The more swishing it does the more muscular, meaty and delicious it becomes.
