The best way to cook oxtail is by braising. This slow-cooking method allows the connective tissue to break down, resulting in tender, flavorful meat and a rich, gelatinous broth. Here’s a simple approach:

1. Brown the Oxtail: Sear the pieces in a hot pan to develop flavor.
2. Braise: Transfer to a pot or slow cooker, add aromatic vegetables, broth, and seasonings, then cook slowly at a low temperature (about 2-3 hours on the stove or 6-8 hours in a slow cooker) until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Did you know that most grass-fed beef in America is actually imported from other countries? And those products can actually be labeled “product of the USA.” Most of the time, you as a customer have no idea if that animal has really been on grass their entire life. To us, grass-fed means that the cows were fed 100% grass during their entire lifetime without shortcuts. In other words, “grass-fed, grass-finished.” All our cows are raised directly by the Circle J Ranch, and we have complete control over how the animal is produced and processed. We are passionate about giving people a healthy and quality product that we consider one of a kind.

Raising cattle is an artisan craft we are excited to share with our customers. If any of our animals get sick, we do treat them, but we take them out of the supply of beef we provide to our grass-fed customers. We are devoted to providing the best and most natural product to you, direct from our ranch in the great state of Texas. Each animal is processed at either a local USDA or state-inspected facility and dry-aged to enhance flavor and tenderness, producing “craft” grass-fed beef from our ranch to your table.
