Braised Oxtails Recipe

Braised Oxtails are a rich, savory dish where tender meat falls off the bone, infused with deep flavors from a slow simmer in aromatic herbs, spices, and vegetables. This traditional comfort food is perfect for a cozy dinner and pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or warm crusty bread. Although it requires a bit of patience, the result is worth every minute.
