Oxtail
Oxtail is the culinary name for the tail of cattle. Formerly, it referred only to the tail of an ox or steer, a bullock. An oxtail typically weighs 2 to 4 lbs. and is skinned and cut into short lengths for sale.

Yes John ,really makes a good meal, when cooked correctly. I was on a German managed tanker that was owned by Aramco. Filipino crew. The cook was useless. Going through the galley late one day I spotted load of Oxtail sitting on the worktop. I asked the cook was that dinner for tomorrow? No that is for tonight!!! It was already 1700hrs. Cookie how are you going to have that ready for 1830hrs?Easy I am just going to fry it and then make the gravy. I gave dinner a miss that night. Next port a new cook arrived. It was nothing to do with the officers, the Filipino crew advised the Captain if he was not replaced he most likely would go missing one dark night.

What was the saying nearer the bone the sweeter the meat or was it nearer the --- the sweeter the meat

[Keith at Tregenna]

The regimental batons of the legumes are integral.

Clean cut but, not as large as Pont Neuf. Similar in shape to julienne.

Regulation: 1/16 inch (1.5mm).

With all the cattle slaughtered here in Oz it is something rarely seen in the butchers.

Roasting joints are common but the greater majority of meat here is cooked on the BBQ,
though Oyster blade steak makes a good casserole in the cooler months.

Really enjoy oxtail but it needs 12 hours in the slow cooker doesn't meet dropped off the bone then it comes just about perfect little bit of carrot and onion and a mix of herbs wonderful winter dish

As said in the Oxtail must be cooked for a long time ,so that the meat literally falls off ,its a really Yummy thing if done correctly,as I do all the Coking here I cannot say that I can get it just right. My late Uncle Dusty was an expert on this dish!

Another Meat we love here in Aussie is called Ozzo Bucco with Bone and Marrow , it really is tasty in Soups and Stews again must be cooked for a long time.

I make it into Soup every Winter (Its just about on us now) so it wont be long,out to the Super Market to get all the goodies.
Chopped up bags of mixed Veges (Fresh) ,Onions,Ozzo Bucco,Four Bean Mix (Dry Beans) French Onion (Packets dry) (Chicken Noodle packets dry)
(Dry five type Soup mix) Beef Stock

That's it add all together in a large Pot ,add Beef Stock and Water to cover ,cook on Medium Heat for at least 4 to 5 hours! Yummy in your Tummy
