Cooking Instructions

Season flour with salt and pepper and dredge oxtails in the flour. Heat oil in large Dutch oven, over medium heat. Add the oxtails in batches, and brown for approx. 3 minutes on all sides. Remove oxtails from the pan and set aside. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute vegetables until they start to wilt (about 6 minutes). Stir in the garlic, bay leaves and stock, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen the browned particles. Return the oxtails to the pot and cook, covered, until the sauce is stew-like and the meat starts to fall of the bone (about 2 hours).

precut oxtails

Supermarkets tend to sell oxtails already cut. Cut up, they are round with the circular bone in center. I think the recipe is a basic one. Sometimes I find it is best to read many different recipes and combine to make to your taste. I added canned chick peas today to thicken the broth and make a heartier meal.

Easier Way

My grandmother and mother and sister and I have been making oxtail soup for longer than I'd like to admit...I put the whole pieces of oxtails (whichever way the butcher has them cut) into a large pot of water...get water to boiling and let boil for at least 45 min., add cut vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, whatever else you enjoy)..when meat on the bones gets tender enough to almost fall off...you're done..I add barley just before meat is done..

oxtails

I don't cut my oxtails, it is totally unnecessary. The tails will get tender and the meat will come off anyway. Everybody like the big tails anyway. What is the point of cutting the tails? I see none.

One Inch Cubes

To cut oxtails into one inch cubes I used a cleaver. This simple recipe turns out GREAT! U can go wilder on the spices and add a tablespoon of peanut butter, it adds a gread back flavor to the sauce.

Oxtail Soup

There is a problem. All the oxtails I have seen in the store are large wide bones with meat attached. How do you cut these into one inch cubes?

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
