Rabo de Toro - Oxtails

Florida Grillin Girl

It means Tail of Bull.

I browned them up in olive oil with S & P.





Removed them from pan and sauteed up some onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms, thyme, garlic (5 cloves)



Added in white wine and bay leaf, then a can of diced tomatoes



Egged at 250 dome for 3 hours, til the meat was falling off the bone. I made a camelized onion and potatoe tart in an 8 inch CI.



Finished oxtails - the photo doesn't do it justice.





The finished potoatoes - here's the recipe:

Hi Kim, I think you must have seen the post before it was finished loading up all the pics. My computer is acting up and it did something funky that I can't splain.

I wonder how beef short ribs would be done that way??? I am sure someone has tried that...just curious.

mad max beyond eggdome

i would think beef short ribs could be done exactly the same way ... . same way for shanks. .. .

Florida Grillin Girl

Max, it looks like its almost the same recipe as yours. I think it would be a good way to do the short ribs too.

I first tried them in Spain in a tapas bar and I was hooked. I duplicated the recipe when I got home. They are easy and good.

I must say I will never look at one of my cow's tails quite the same again! Really great looking cook Faith! Not something I would think would be as meaty as it is and made a great looking meal!
