Got Some Tail Today

[Stingerhook]

Oxtail that is seasoned up with Island Jerk Seasoning

First on was a pork shoulder Nellie seasoned up for some sliced pork this week

After about 3 hours the pork came out of the pan and onto the grate, added the oxtail

Oxtail out of the smoker and ready for a broth bath

Pork is off for a rest after reaching 180

And the oxtail is ready for dinner

Thanks for looking

Yes I would, they would take a longer cook.

Love Ox Tail. We need to breed Cows with two tails!

 

[bowhnter]

Making me hungry and I just ate. You know what, I don't think I've ever tried oxtail. How does that compare to beef shanks? Somewhat similar?

More fat but the flavor is similar Andy. I am surprised living in Chicagoland you never had them. It was a staple in my house growing up in Elmwood Park when you didn't have to wait for a sale to be able to afford them.

Costs more than ribeye here now :shocked: I like it a lot but not THAT much...I'll eat offal but if it costs more than a premium steak cut? Nah...feel like I'm just encouraging bad behavior at that point.

Pork n beef looks great :thumb:

Marty, that skin on Butt looks great. I always braise oxtail, can't say ive ever smoked them.
Edit: I see you mention ready for a bath, im assuming you braised even though i don't see any liquids?

Yes, after 1:40 in the smoker it was time for a 325 degree 2 hour bath in beef broth.

Do you eat as is, or top with a reduced sauce?

Now that's a Sunday meal. Great job Marty!

Doesn't get any better than that! Well done, Marty!

As is.

 

[Itsdone]

As is.

I bet it would be delicious served like osso buco, with a side of polenta.

 

[Bluebird]

Fantastic cook!
