Stewed oxtail is a hearty dish traditionally rooted in Caribbean, African, and European cuisines. The meal features slow-cooked oxtail—rich, gelatinous cuts of beef tail—braised with aromatic seasonings, vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery, and often herbs such as thyme and bay leaves. It’s simmered until tender, producing a flavorful, nutrient-dense broth. Oxtail is an excellent source of protein, collagen, and essential minerals like iron and zinc, supporting joint health and immune function. However, it is relatively high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which can impact cardiovascular health when consumed excessively. Stewed oxtail is often paired with rice or dumplings and offers a comforting, indulgent option, but mindful portions are recommended to maintain a balanced diet.
