Oxtail Stew - Filipino Recipe

Preparing Oxtail stew is a tasty and yummy way to cook oxtails. I got the inspiration from my beef bourguignon recipe, but I tried to make this dish simpler and easy to prepare. Imagine an oxtail bourguignon, prepared quicker and quite simpler. This is what you will get from this oxtail stew recipe.

Oxtail is one of the most tastiest part of the cow (if not the most), in my opinion. If prepared properly, you should be able to leverage on its potential to make different kinds of tasty stews. In addition to its flavor, tender oxtails are pleasant to eat. There won’t be much chewing involved. You will feel that the meat is melting in your mouth, literally.

If you have tried our oxtail kare-kare, which is a type of peanut stew, you’ll notice that the dominance of the oxtail every bite — in a positive way. It blended well with the peanut sauce and the shrimp paste. This was the reason why the dish was a success.

Oxtail stew can be eaten the Filipino way, which is having it with warm white rice. I also like having this with mashed potato. I had this once with baguette. It was awesome.
