Oxtail

Average Weight Per Pack .57 oz

Oxtail is a flavorful cut of beef taken from the tail of cattle. Despite its name, it does not necessarily come from an ox. It is known for its rich, beefy taste and high gelatin content, which gives soups, stews, and braised dishes a silky, full-bodied texture. Because oxtail contains bone, connective tissue, and meat, it benefits from slow cooking methods such as braising, simmering, or pressure cooking. When cooked gently over several hours, the meat becomes tender and falls away from the bone. Oxtail is used in many cuisines, including Caribbean, Korean, Italian, and Southern American cooking, often paired with vegetables, beans, rice, or hearty sauces.
