Oxtail is a popular delicacy that comes from the tail of the cow. The tail is cut into thick pieces or chunks. It is often stewed or braised, releasing superb flavours.
Oxtail has an intensely beefy flavor similar to short ribs. This makes it an excellent base for stews and soups. Once cooked, the meat itself is wonderfully tender and succulent (worth picking up the bone with your hands at the table).
