oxtail stew

Slow-cooked bovine

Oxtail stew is a slow-cooked dish made from sections of beef tail, typically braised with vegetables, broth, and aromatics until the meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender.

The collagen-rich tail produces a thick, gelatinous gravy prized for its depth of flavor.

The dish appears across many cuisines, from Jamaican to Korean to Italian: She let the oxtail stew simmer all afternoon.
