Beef tail butt?

[PKC]

Butt of beef tail?  Got an entire beef tail.  I have a plan for the skinny part.  Not sure what to do with this section. Smoke, braise?

I'd cut it up as best you can, dip in flour and brown. Then add to an enameled dutch oven, with sautéed onions, a can of Marzano tomatoes and cut up yellow potatoes. Deglaze the saute/fry pan with white wine and add to the dutch oven. Add more white twine to cover the mix. 350 degrees.....check in two hours......keep going until the tomatoes resemble gravy and meat is tender.

AKA Oxtail, really tender to start with. We always make soup out of it.😉

Yup. Something like that, but I'd probably crosscut it a couple inches thick a'la Osso Buco.

But definitely braise.

Fidelk,
Do you add the "White Twine" for extra fiber?   
Sounds like a delicious recipe, if I could just afford the price of Oxtails!

It's just in there to make it more chewy.

That sounds very good Fidelk!

I’m attempting a Jamaican oxtail stew today with the smaller pieces.

PKC, did this last week with cut up pieces of chuck roast.......came out great......the flour thickens up the tomatoes into a gravy type sauce.......same process should work with most meats. Love oxtails......you've inspired me to cook them next. Now I'm also craving beef tongue.

You might try Pork Tongue, it's a lot cheaper than Beef Tongue.  (Both taste the same to me.)

Will do.......over the years and too late to go back for it, I keep forgetting to remove elk and deer tongues. Would be a great snack in camp.

Oxtail is amazing. It's too bad all the naughty bits have become so popular. They used to be cheap!
