Steamed oxtail is a flavorful, tender dish made from the tail of a cow, often prepared in Caribbean, African, or Asian cuisines. Known for its rich, gelatinous texture, oxtail is traditionally seasoned with aromatic herbs, spices, and occasionally vegetables, then slow-steamed to perfection. Nutritionally, oxtail is a good source of protein, collagen, and iron, supporting muscle growth and joint health. It’s also high in essential minerals like phosphorus and potassium. However, oxtail is rich in fat and cholesterol, especially if cooked with the bone marrow intact, making portion control important for those monitoring heart health. Traditionally paired with rice, beans, or stewed vegetables, steamed oxtail is a warming comfort food. While nutrient-dense, removing excess fat during preparation can make it a healthier indulgence while retaining its satisfying depth of flavor.
