Ox Tail once prepared correctly is one of the best beef part, it’s meaty, flavourful and contain lots of collagen which gives that nice texture and robust flavour. Ox Tail I guess is so underrated in Western countries until recently but this beef cut is widely used in Asian countries, for example in Philippines we use it in Kare Kare, in Taiwan they have this Ox Tail Stew, Malaysians have this Sup Ekor and the Vietnamese have this Pho Ðuôi Bò.

  • 2 kgs oxtails
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon rind, finely grated
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In skillet add oil then brown oxtails. Place oxtails in stock pot then set aside.
  2. In the same skillet sauté garlic and onions for 2 minutes or until onions are soft, add red pepper flakes and sauté for one more minute. Pour 1 cup of beef stock to deglaze then pour mixture in the stock pot with the oxtails.
  3. Place all remaining ingredients in the stock pot except for the carrots, pour enough water just to cover the oxtails then bring it to a boil. Once boiling lower heat then simmer for 2 hours. Check for water level once in a while and add if it’s needed.

  1. I love Oxtail now as a grown up – and you’ve made it look so attractive, too! Cheers

    I can’t wait to make this, I love oxtails. They used to be a wonderful, cheap, addition to all sorts of soups and stews, then hipster chefs started cooking with them and they tripled in price! I get them when they’re marked down now!

    Damn hipsters.

  3. Shirlynn Trinidad says:

    how long would you say you would cook this dish in a slow cooker/crockpot?

  4. Clara says:

    Can this be made using the instant?

  5. Erica Rene Collins says:

    I’m not a meat eater but my little sister likes oxtails. But not American style cooking. This recipe was easy to follow and she loved it! Even my aunt and a friend loved it. Won’t cook oxtails any other way now.

  6. Ching says:

    How long can I braise the oxtail in oven and what temperature?

    Thank you

    • Raymund says:

      Hi, I used stove top to braise but if you want to use oven, place it first in a Dutch Oven covered then braise for 1 hour at 160C, after an hour lower heat to 135C then continue for 3 more hours.

  7. Susan says:

    You mention adding the chilies after you’ve sautéed the onions, but you don’t say what chilies in your list of ingredients. However, there are red pepper flakes listed at the bottom.

  8. Elle says:

    where is the rest of the recipe??? the instructions don’t say where to add
    1 tbsp Fish Sauce
    3 tbsp Soy Sauce
    2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
    2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
    1 tsp lemon rind, finely grated
    3 tbsp brown sugar
    4 pcs star anise
    1 large knob fresh ginger, sliced

  9. John Edmund Cartwright says:

    LEft out the sugar and reduced the Hoisin sauce a bit as i was at the end of my bottle, – have replaced fish sauce with tamarind, didn’t have lemon and used 50/50 thick say, dark soy – delicious – Served it with Barley
    Cooked it in a pressure cooker for 45 min before adding carrots and left it for another hour without pressure and added more liquid when adding the carrots

  10. Sandra says:

    Superb recipe that I have done several times, without variation, and always in the oven for best results. I make early morning, cool and refrigerate in the evening for overnight. Skim all fat solids the next day, reheat on a low flame, and flavours are blended beautifully.
