Cooking Methods: Braise, Slow Cook, Sous Vide
For the best results, start by seasoning the Angus oxtail with salt and pepper and browning it on all sides in a hot pan to develop a rich, caramelized crust. Once browned, transfer the meat to a deep, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven and add a flavorful broth—think beef stock enhanced with aromatics like garlic, onions, bay leaves, and fresh herbs.
Cover the pot and place it in a 300°F oven, allowing it to braise for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F and the meat is fork tender. If a more pull-apart texture is desired, continue cooking until the meat reaches 208°F.
Once done, allow the meat to cool slightly and spoon away excess fat. Serve this tender, deeply flavorful oxtail in soups, stews, or over creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or couscous, and drizzle with the braising liquid for an extra burst of flavor.
Our marbled and flavorful Angus beef comes from cattle raised exclusively for D’Artagnan by a cooperative of ranchers committed to strict protocols of humane animal husbandry.
The Angus cattle are raised entirely on pasture, rotationally grazing on nutritious grasses and given a supplemental vegetarian diet enriched with vitamins E and A to strengthen their immune function and overall health.
The ranchers take every care to support both the health of the environment and cattle. They know exactly where each animal comes from and can track them from birth to processing, which happens at about 26-28 months of age. Each cow comes with an affidavit proving that the rancher followed the cooperative's strict protocols.
