Oxtail is a cut of meat taken from the tail of cattle, primarily beef cattle. It is known for its rich, beefy flavor and tender meat, which becomes even more succulent when slow-cooked. Oxtail is often used in stews, soups, and braised dishes, and it is appreciated for its unique taste and gelatinous texture, resulting from the connective tissues and marrow in the tail. This cut is a popular ingredient in various cuisines worldwide, offering a hearty and flavorful addition to many traditional dishes.
