Recipe for Ox Tails ?

[Bint Box]

Hi,

Would anyone please have a recipe for Ox Tails, the butchers counter in our local food store are stocking them regularly.
I think roasting or a casserole might be an option but wondered what the cooking times are and what vegetables would be suitable with them.


Thx for any feedback.

I've only ever used it for birria tacos.

IIRC took about 4 hours cooking at around 140C, that was in liquid

This recipe works well.

If you got a slow cooker, add veg, red wine and garlic, you can't go wrong.

Also brown it first.

 

[FerretBoy]

I often do this

It's sous vide, but honestly you could just cook it normally it in a pot

Oxtail Ragù - Recipes - Hairy Bikers

We used to think oxtail was a bit of a British treat, but they love it in the Med too and this rich meaty, mushroomy sauce makes a great supper on a cool autumn evening. The ragù does need to cook for a while but there’s no need to brown the meat first so that speeds things up a little. Serve...

So you're fine with an 'Ox' tail but you draw the line at cow?

What did you think an ox was?
Also, what on earth did you think the kidney's in steak and kidney pie were, and why, if you liked it before, does it make you vom now you know what it is? It still tastes the same regardless of your knowledge of it?

Edit: On the cooking front, I bought some once and cooked it in with a brisket that I cooked until it was falling apart for a chilli/ragu type thing. The ox tail was still stuck on the bone at that point and a real pain to use. So, cook it for bloody ages

I dont know, i just thought it was a "flavour"

Do not google what sweetbreads are.

Also, with oxtail, I'm quite interested in whether there is a minimum distance from the cows arse where they are allowed to start. Like can it go right up to the sphincter?

Yes, the big bit at the end has the actual sphincter still in it. If you’re lucky, you get the ring of cowpat still in the sphincter from when the cow was chilled down and sliced. It’s considered a delicacy in many parts

True story, I've just got in touch with an old friend who I really thought would be dead by now but he's still here.
Went his house On Friday and he has a garage and tools we would all die for, I really can't exaggerate how many tools he's got and how many spares still boxed up.
He also has multiple tins of things like WD40, at least 20 cans on the shelf but as we walked round the corner he had over 100 tins of Heinz Oxtail Soup

You're missing out DMJK4, it's lovely.

Like any fatty/cheap cut, low and slow is key to whatever recipe you do. If a recipe is telling you to shove it in the oven at 180c for 1hr30 just don't believe it. You want 3hrs+ at 130-140c. Often simmering on the stove is too hot, the oven is better.

You've made me think I've not been to my butcher for a while, now it's practically autumn maybe it's time to bust out some long cooks like stew, tagine, ragus etc.
