Oxtail Soup: Oxtail is a classic ingredient in oxtail soup, a hearty and flavorful broth-based soup often made with vegetables, herbs, and sometimes barley or noodles. It is a beloved dish in many cultures.
Oxtail Stew: Oxtail stew is a popular preparation that involves simmering oxtail pieces in a savory broth with vegetables like carrots, onions, and potatoes. The slow cooking process allows the meat to become tender and absorb the flavors of the stew.
Braised Oxtail: Oxtail can be braised in a variety of flavorful sauces, such as tomato-based, wine-based, or soy-based. The long, slow cooking time allows the meat to become tender and fall-off-the-bone.

Here's how to prepare oxtail:
Ingredients
- Oxtail pieces (about 3-4 pounds)
- Cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil or olive oil)
- Onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and other vegetables (optional)
- Tomatoes or tomato paste (optional)
- Beef or vegetable broth
- Red wine (optional)
- Aromatic herbs and spices (e.g., bay leaves, thyme, rosemary)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Rinse the oxtail pieces under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat a few tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtail pieces on all sides until they are browned. This step helps develop flavor. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
If desired, add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and fragrant.
Pour in a bit of red wine (about 1/2 cup) if using, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. This adds depth of flavor.
Place the seared oxtail back into the pot. Add enough beef or vegetable broth to cover the oxtail pieces. If you like, you can also add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and a bundle of herbs and spices such as bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for several hours (about 3 to 4 hours or more) until the oxtail is tender and falls off the bone. Check the liquid level periodically, adding more broth or water as needed to keep the oxtail covered.
If you prefer a leaner dish, you can skim off excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid during the simmering process.
Once the oxtail is tender, remove it from the pot. You can serve it as is, or you can strain the cooking liquid and reduce it to create a sauce or gravy to serve with the oxtail.
