The Tail That Tells the Whole Story
Oxtail is the ultimate expression of slow cooking. Each segment is a cross-section of vertebrae surrounded by richly marbled muscle and encased in connective tissue. Braised for hours, everything transforms. The collagen melts, the marrow enriches, and the meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender.
Oxtail braised for four hours produces a sauce that no reduction and no amount of butter can replicate. It is collagen made liquid.
