🥩 Gordon Ramsay Oxtail Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds oxtail
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning (such as Spike®)
  • 1 teaspoon browning sauce (such as Grace®)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

🥘 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Oxtail

  1. In a shallow dish, arrange the oxtail. In a small bowl, mix some soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, garlic and herb spice, browning sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  2. Apply the soy sauce mixture evenly to the oxtail on both sides; remove any excess.
  3. In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtail in heated oil, about 3 minutes on each side; remove to a plate and put aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the celery, carrots, onion, and garlic until they are tender, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Bring the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to a boil.
  5. Blend in the oxtail together with its juices and butter. Simmer, covered, over low heat for three hours, or until the oxtail reaches fork tenderness.
  6. Raise the heat to high while uncovered. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces.

FAQs

Does oxtail get softer the longer you cook it?

Yes, low and slow cooking gradually tenderizes oxtail, breaking down collagen for a succulent texture and extracting rich flavor from the bones and marrow.

Should you sear oxtails before cooking?

Absolutely. Searing oxtails for a few minutes on each side is essential to enhance flavor, create a caramelized exterior, and lock in juices for richness.

Why is my oxtail so tough?

Your oxtail might be tough if not cooked sufficiently so cook it slowly to tenderize and enhance flavor.

How do you know if oxtail is tender?

Tender oxtail is evident when pierced with a fork, and it yields completely, showcasing a soft texture.
