Why oxtail creates a richer beef stew than almost any other cut
In short: This video demonstrates how to prepare a slow-cooked, braised oxtail stew. You will learn how to transform this flavorful, bone-in cut into a rich meal using traditional seasoning and slow-braising techniques.
The recipe focuses on the unique richness that oxtail contributes to a stew, noting that while rising costs may lead cooks to use cheaper, boneless beef cuts, oxtail offers a superior flavor profile. The process involves browning the meat in a Dutch oven before sautéing aromatics like onion, celery, and carrot.
To build deep flavor, the method incorporates ginger, garlic, tomato paste, thyme, and allspice. The stew is then braised in the oven for three to four hours, with ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Scotch bonnet peppers adding complexity. Finally, edamame or butterbeans are added to finish the dish.
