About Beef oxtails
Beef oxtails are the gelatin-rich tail of cattle, historically used in stews and braised dishes across various cuisines, including Caribbean, African, and European. Packed with flavor, they are prized for their marrow-filled bones and robust, meaty taste. Oxtails are a source of protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc, which support energy production and immune health. The natural gelatin contributes to joint and skin health. However, oxtails are also high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. They are often slow-cooked to tenderize their tough texture, creating dishes that are hearty and nutrient-rich but calorically dense. Pairing oxtails with fresh vegetables can help balance their robust flavor and nutritional profile.
