Slow Cooker Oxtail, Carrots & Potatoes
Have you ever eaten Oxtail? Oxtail is the tail of an ox or steer. I have wanted to try Oxtail for over a year now. We buy a side of beef every year so this year I asked for the tail. Oxtail is very expensive to buy in our local stores so that is why I haven’t tried it before.

This looks wonderful! I’ve only cooked oxtail to make pho, but not for any other reason. I need to get on this!!
Oh I bet it made some great Pho!
Looks really delicious dear. 😋
Thank you I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was!
Love oxtail,but over here in SPAM Land it’s gotten sooooo expensive. Small kid time, butchers would almost give them away. Sigh.
It’s expensive here too! But I will get it once a year with the side of beef we get. We pay for it whether I get it or not!
I’ve never had oxtail. This looks amazing.
It is a meat that needs hours of cooking. It is tough unless it cooks a really long time. I did mine for 5 hours on high and 5 hours on low. I have never cooked meat in my slow cooker that long. It was very good. Thanks Cathryn!
Looked wonderful.
Cripes, nostalia time, again. Guess this is what happens when you start outliving your peers for years. Anyway – must be 54 years since I last made oxtail stew. Close to your recipe though more Middle Eastern in flavors. At that time, my favorite meat market – remember those? – was in an ethnic Syrian neighborhood. Had all sorts of organ meats, plus the bits and pieces you wouldn’t find in a supermarket.
Only had to be careful the “ox” wasn’t too old and funky.
In my recipes I have cow tongue and heart that I made too. I wish we still had those markets but without the funk…lol
Looks too good 🙂
Thanks!
Looks good. I like oxtail soup and make it often. Thanks for sharing your recipe
You’re welcome! It was surprisingly delicious.
It’s really odd how expensive ox tails are. Believe it or not when I was young they were considered scraps so they were very inexpensive. Imagine my surprise when I priced them as an adult. This looks really good.
That is funny! My husband was telling me the same thing. Supply and demand…lol Thanks Miss Hammie!
My mom made oxtail often. It really is delicious. thanks for sharing…vw
You’re welcome!
oxtail.. Umm… I froze.
Thanks!
Oxtail used to be one of the cheapest of the cheap meat offerings. Sadly now, along with chicken wings, lamb shanks beef cheeks, and all the other lovely slow cookers they’ve been re-discovered, and the prices have soared. Shame really. We get kangaroo tail in Oz which cooks up simarlarly.
I didn’t know kangaroo tail was used. I bought kangaroo frozen from a store and it was very dry. Probably because it was frozen. I bet it would be good fixed in a stew.
Love oxtail soup.
I know what you mean! Even better leftover the next day!
will you please send me some LOL that look good and I love oxtails
😯😯
Oxtail has the best flavor! We buy a side of beef every year and I always ask for the tail! Thank you so much!
