How Do I Get My Oxtails Tender?
To get tender oxtails, it is recommended to cook them low and slow. Start by searing the oxtails in a hot pan to lock in the flavor and juices. Then, transfer them to a slow-cooker or a pot on the stovetop with enough liquid to cover them and let them cook on low heat for at least 3-4 hours, or until the meat becomes soft and easily falls off the bone. Adding acidic ingredients like vinegar, wine, or tomatoes to the cooking liquid can also help break down the tough fibers, resulting in tender oxtails.
