    Buy a second packet , which is what they intended all along. Seriously can’t believe the prices, insane. Stop paying for this over priced stuff and then inflation will drop really quickly. Profiteering is rampant right now, here in France too. I refuse to comply. The Borg will not win.

    Braise it with lots of onion, garlic, a bit of carrot and celery, and red wine, maybe some chicken stock.

    In an oven-proof pot with a cover, brown the meat on one side, then saute the veg until they are a bit soft. Cover the pot, and put it in a 300 degree oven for about three hours, until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced (pull the meat out and reduce the sauce on the stove top if you need to). Then shred the meat, and toss the meat and sauce with cooked pasta.

  3. braise it. keep the liquid. after you eat the meaty bits, throw what’s left back in the liquid and simmer some more, to get all the collagen and other good stuff out for stock. if you have no use for stock right now just freeze it for when you are making soup.

    Me, an American trying to figure out if 8.85 is a good deal for that amount of KG’s. Lol

    Buy more and get some soup bones, some cinnamon, cloves, ginger, onion, and coriander, and make pho.

    Put it back til the price comes back down lol. These chefs make these cheap cuts trendy and then turn expensive. It kinda sucks. Hangar steak is another example

    With a tiny bit of meat soup is always the best answer, specially if it includes a bone.

  8. If you’ve got a small crockpot, toss it in with some garlic, onions, beef broth, wine, and let it go until it melts down. Serve over pasta or rice

    I just used a couple over the weekend to make a really good (if I don’t say so myself 💁‍♀️) picadillo soup. I simmered the oxtails for about 2 hours. Them had some ground beef browned it a bit. Blended some tomatoes, onions, garlic and a New Mexico chile. Let that cook down a bit and then added the oxtail and broth. Then some celery, carrot potato and herbs and spices. Even just a small amount of oxtail makes for a really rich and tasty broth

    Throw in a small pot with a small carrot and small potato.

    And oh baby – you got a small stew going!

  11. Oxtail soup is a popular dish in Jamaica, but I never saw a single ox the whole time I was there.

  12. Get into a spanish web Page and look for rabo de toro. Cook It, and come here again.

  13. make an oxtail, pineapple ring, bagel sandwich.

    Good lord that’s expensive for stew beef…

    OMG when I was a struggling single mother my neighbor owned a meat market. He would give-YES GIVE-me oxtail, beef tongue & heart, chicken livers/gizzard, all those odds & ends of meat nobody would buy! I would make up soups & dishes that he turned around & would sell, giving me total profits. This was 25-30 years ago!

    Braise it; oxtail has a lot of collagen that needs time to break down.

    I’d boil it for a few hours in water to make the most awesome broth (skim off the surface foam). Then use the bone broth to up your ramen/udon game or just put a couple dumplings in it or add vegetables for a bone broth soup.

  18. What a rip off. Well if you use the oxtail it will give your dish a really good flavor. You can add some way cheaper “stew meat” or beef chunks and just braise it all together. Sear it and cook it low and slow for a few hours.

    This may be the dumbest question ever, but is an ox 🐂 park of the beef family? I’ve never had it, what kind of flavor does it have? I e always heard of ox tail soup never had any. Thanks!

    Best before “MR”? Does that mean you’ve had this since March?

  21. LivingtheLightDaily

    I use it for flavoring with beans.

    Pressure cooker, water just covered, pepper corns, onion quarters. Put heat on once it starts spinning, cook 12 minutes. Turn off heat. Let sit for about 20 minutes or till cool enough to pull the cap off. Let the pressure release through the top. Do not take off top. Will explode. Once the hissing stops and cools a little, pull off top. Add can of tomatoes, cut carrots, cut celery, add all this plus tomato sauce and season to taste. Tastes great with rice

    Braise it, shred it, and use it as a filling for arancinis.

  24. ModerateImprovement

    Blend it with a cheaper cut of beef to make good fatty burgers.

  25. Prestigious-Use6981

    Give it to the ox gods as an offering

  26. Pernty_no0ples

    Braise it, turn it in to agnolotti, use the braising liquid with some butter for the sauce. Maybe add some mushrooms, kale, shallots, etc. you can easily turn that in to a meal for 3 or 4 people

    14 ingredients and 8hrs later you’ll have a delicious 7 bites of deliciousness over rice.

    Two Asian soups are famous for using oxtail. Pho and Kare kare soup. Both taste excellent and well worth the mixing

  29. Ecstatic-Mongoose454

    In a pressure cooker with lentils, onion, garlic, carrots, red pepper, fresh thyme and some red wine. Mmm!!!

  30. Sear it first on all sides, season, throw it in a pot of water and boil until almost tender, then throw in some collard greens and simmer until it all comes together. You could add some chopped onion of you like. Sweet Cornbread on the side with a couple slices of tomato and you got one of the best meals in the south.
