Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Oxtail is the tail of the animal, cross-cut into thick discs. Each piece contains a central bone surrounded by rich meat and generous marrow. The collagen content is huge, which produces a sauce that coats the back of a spoon.

Tip: Oxtail releases a lot of fat. Braise a day ahead, chill overnight, then lift the solid fat cap off before reheating.

01Storage
Refrigeration

Freezing
Freeze on the day of purchase. Vacuum-sealed packs freeze well for up to 6 months. Label with the date before freezing.
Thawing
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Do not thaw on the bench. Once thawed, do not refreeze. Pat dry before cooking.
After Cooking

02Cooking
Bring to Room Temperature
No need to bring to room temperature. Cold from the fridge is fine for a long braise.
Best Cooking Method
Low and slow braise in liquid (stock, wine, or tomato base) at 150-160°C for 3-5 hours until fork tender.
Seasoning
Season well before searing. The sear builds flavour. Salt after for crust.
Internal Temperature
Done when a fork slides in with no resistance. Internal ~93°C for fully rendered collagen.
Resting
Rest 15 minutes in the braising liquid before serving. Skim fat if desired.
