Beef oxtail is the tail of a cow, typically cut into segments or pieces with the bone in. It’s known for its rich, meaty flavor and tender texture, which comes from the collagen in the bones and connective tissue that breaks down during slow cooking. When cooked, oxtail becomes extremely tender and juicy, often used in stews, soups, and braised dishes. The meat has a deep, savory taste, and the gelatinous texture from the bones adds a luscious quality to broths and sauces.
