Definicja i Znaczenie "oxtail"

What is "oxtail"?

Oxtail is a flavorful and rich cut of meat taken from the tail of cattle, particularly from the ox or steer. Despite its name, it is not exclusive to oxen and can come from any breed of cattle. Oxtail is characterized by its gelatinous texture and rich, beefy flavor, attributed to the high collagen content in the tail. It is often used in braises, stews, and soups, where slow cooking helps to break down the tough connective tissue, resulting in tender, succulent meat.
