A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Cut pieces have a central tail bone surrounded by meat, connective tissue and some fat.
In the kitchen
Used in soups and slow braises, including red-wine oxtail. Eat the cooked meat around the bones; the bones are not edible.
Joint size, fat trimming and seasoning vary. Oxtail is a specific beef cut, not a substitute name for boneless beef.
