Ox Tail

Oxtail is a traditional cut known for its rich flavour and suitability for slow cooking. Find it at The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, for hearty soups, stews and deeply savoury braised dishes.

How to cook: Brown the pieces, then simmer slowly with stock, onions, carrots, herbs and your preferred seasonings until the meat becomes tender. A long, gentle cook helps develop the broth and flavour.

Serving ideas: Serve as a rich stew with mash or crusty bread, or use the cooking liquid as the base for a hearty soup.

For classic slow-cooked beef dishes, oxtail from your local Sandbach butcher is a rewarding choice. Follow the product’s storage and cooking guidance.
