Casanova Meats Oxtail

 

Are you ready to make the best beef stock or braised meat you can imagine? If you answered yes, then oxtail is the cut for you. Revered by aficionados and chefs alike, oxtail is known for its rich meat, which comes on-the-bone. Contrary to popular belief, oxtail does not come from an ox. In fact, this cut comes from the tail of the steer. When braised very slowly, the oxtail breaks down into a flavor-packed beef stock, which is notorious for being the secret ingredient in the best stews around, which often include the rich meat of the oxtail too.
