Ox Tail

2 Servings per 500g

£4.99 – £9.50

Is the meat of the moment, but must be cooked slowly for a deep rich flavour. It has a silky texture from the fat marbling throughout the meat and makes a succulent, velvety stew, or a comforting ‘soul food’ soup.

A 500/550g portion will serve 2, or use 1-1.2kg for hungry people or more guests.

Our tips and recommendations:

If you haven’t cooked oxtail before, it comes as a round portion, with a bone in the centre. You know it is cooked when it easily falls off the bones for a pull-apart tender meal.
An Italian favourite, guazzetto, is oxtail cooked in a guzzle of red wine, served over pasta or polenta.
Serve your oxtail stew with garlic mash, steamed broccoli or saffron rice.
