man it’s been 10 years since I found you. I still make the caldo verde soup every fall/winter regularly. it’s crazy that you’re still making regular videos. thanks

What I love most is that your video style hasn’t changed throughout the years. Your videos bring such comfort ❤

Nice take, chef John. One thing I definitely wouldn’t leave out original or inspired is a garnish of kaffir lime leaf chiffonade.. thanks for doing Indonesian cuisine. 🙏

If you're not into Indonesian cooking yet, you should definitely get into Indonesian cooking.

Yay! More rendang! Chef John, I have to say that I've made a number of rendang recipes (including ones with kerisik, pounded roasted coconut), but yours is the one I've stuck with, and everyone who's had it has agreed with your wife - one of the most delicious things they've ever had. Thanks so much!

I prefer dry rendang. That's when the sauce is reduced all the way until it's totally dried up. In Indonesia, wet rendang that's still brothy is called kalio, so uM aKsChuAlly, this is technically kalio. (But still an excellent one, probably! Chef John's recipes have never failed me.)


Sorry... 😂 Couldn't resist.

So glad you could find time in your busy schedule watching Internet Comment Etiquette’s live cooking shows to get this video out. 😉

Thanks for the recipe Chef John! ❤

Way back in the 70s when oxtails were the cheapest meat anywhere, my mom would make a standard oxtail stew. I was always sad because I wanted more meat, but oh my gosh my lips were so sticky after eating. And besides salt, it was seasoned mostly with pepper, which goes so well with this kind of lip smacking good meat. Can you tell I absolutely adore oxtails?

Ahh that looks so delicious!! I love oxtail and absolutely going to try this. Roasting the oxtail in advance is a great idea, way less labor intensive method!

I will have to show this to my wife...she's from Indonesia. I get have rendang quite often but, have not had it with ox tail...

Ive been making your oxtail soup since you uploaded it a long long time ago. The price used to be dirt cheap as nobody wanted them. Now, i blame you! lol

That reminds me of my University days when I had a Malaysian roommate. There were about 20 in their group and they had a habit of eating together, with everyone sharing the cooking chores. Clean-up was easy since there were only pates, we all ate with our hands.
Malaysia is known as the Spice Islands, and the aromas were amazing.
Michelle has great taste when she gives this a thumbs up.

I like them jamaican style with broad beans cooked in the gravy

I'd have gone with some spicier peppers to be honest! But after all we're the Bill Murray of how we make our Oxtail Curry

After all, you are the David Chang of your oxtail rendang. 😂❤

Oxtail is one of my favorite, I enjoy it the most braised like this. It’s more than doubled in price in the area that I live in the last couple years.😢 I’m glad others are getting to enjoy it, I just wish they weren’t doing it at my expense😅

Oxtail is one of my favorite things to eat.

Beef rendang and jamaican oxtails are rwo of the most delicious foods ive ever eaten. So, i need to make this immediately 🤤

[KilanEatsandDrinks]

This is wonderful, Chef John. Not the kind of _rendang buntut sapi_ we'd normally see in Indonesia, but it still looks delicious! 🤤
