      Why we love this

      • 4 WEEK HUNG
      • NATIVE BREED

      • Our grandparents relished Oxtail, but it fell from favour for a while and is only now making a well deserved comeback.

        Packing a huge nutritious thwack, our 100% Grass Fed Beef Oxtail is packed with gelatinous goodies like marrow and collagen. Surprisingly meaty, Oxtail makes stews of unparalleled richness, with the collagen melting away to make thick, delicious gravy.

        Cooked super slow, the meat will fall off the bone so there's no fussing needed. For such a versatile and intensely delicious cut our Grass Fed Oxtail is excellent value.

        Weights vary. Each oxtail weighs a minimum of 750g.

        Super delicious with a nourishing kick to boot, it's no surprise that our Grass Fed Oxtail has won a number of awards over the years, including the prestigious 1 Star in the Great Taste Awards. 

        "Impressive looking oxtail that slips cleanly off the bone." 

        "Soft melting texture and deep oxtail flavour - rich and flavoursome meat"

      • 100% Grass Fed Beef

      • To defrost the oxtail, place into a bowl of cool water (still in its packaging) and leave for approximately 35 minutes. 

        Take a good sized casserole dish, add a dollop of Beef Dripping or Ghee, then place on the hob over a high heat. When the pan is sizzling hot add the oxtail and sear on all sides.

        To the casserole dish add a couple of halved onions, a bulb of garlic, a handful of garden herbs, a couple of glasses of red wine and a pouch of beef stock.

        Pop the lid on and place the dish into a preheated oven set to around 140C and cook for 8 hours - the longer the better.

      • All of our meat is delivered frozen ready to pop straight into your freezer, once defrosted these can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

      Cooking Oxtail

      There is something rather medieval about Oxtail. The gnarly, boney joints might not look like much, but those in the know are all too aware of the hidden magic that is kept within this old-fashioned cut. All it needs is time. Time to release the heavenly marrow that slowly marinades the dish. Time to allow the tough sinews to relax and relent, leaving you with flakes of beefy delight. You can explore all our oxtail recipes on our journal.
