Oxtail

Oxtail is the tail of cattle commonly used in slow-cooked and braised dishes across many cuisines (notably Caribbean, British and Korean), prized for its rich, gelatinous texture and deep beefy flavor. It provides about 17.6g of protein per 100g and is especially valued for the collagen that dissolves into a silky broth during long cooking. Nutritionally it supplies important nutrients found in red meat such as vitamin B12 and zinc and is very low in carbohydrates; it makes an excellent choice when you want a flavorful, protein-rich addition to stews and soups.
