Beef Oxtail

Beef Oxtail

EverydayRaw

Beef oxtail is a collagen-rich cut from the tail of cattle, valued for its gelatinous texture when slow-cooked. This bony, fatty cut requires braising or stewing to break down its dense connective tissues into tender meat with a rich, savory flavor. A staple in global comfort foods like Korean *kkori gomtang* or Jamaican soup, it provides substantial protein and iron but requires longer preparation than leaner cuts.
