Oxtail grilled cheese 🧀

Oxtail Grilled Cheese

Serves: 4
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 4 hours

Ingredients
- 1 oxtail
- salt to taste
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1L (34 fl oz) beef stock
- 8 slices rye sourdough bread
- 600g (21.2 oz) grated cheddar cheese
- pickled peppers, sliced
- butter
- olive oil

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 140°C (285°F).
2. To braise the oxtail, season it well with salt. In a large Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil and brown the oxtail on all sides. Remove the oxtail and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the chopped carrot, onion, and crushed garlic. Sauté until golden brown, then return the browned oxtail to the pot. Pour in the beef stock until the oxtail is covered.
4. Bring the pot to a gentle simmer, then cover it and place it in the oven. Braise for 3-3.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
5. Once cooked, allow the oxtail to cool slightly before pulling the meat from the bones. Glaze the meat with the reduced stock from the pot.
6. To assemble the sandwich, start by adding a generous amount of pulled oxtail meat to a slice of bread. Top with a good helping of grated cheddar cheese and some sliced pickled peppers. Place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
7. Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of butter to the pan and toast the sandwich for 5-6 minutes on each side, until it’s deep golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Magic. Love oxtail, packed full of flavour & marrow. Makes such glossy sauces too. Used to be dirt cheap, but so many chefs using it in videos is bumping the price up.

Now your talking Andy. Oxtail is the families favourite and oxtail soup next level. I now have baking trays with cooling racks in my kitchen. Well done with the magic wand. 🤩🤩❤👌

Man oxtail is a seriously underrated cut. Tail and barley vegetable soup was always a butcher time classic growing up.

This is the absolute definition of FOOD OF THE GODS!!

Mashed peas and Irish stew. Martabak manis.

That oxtail by itself is 100% worth the work in my opinion 🙀🙀😋😋

You are a beast in the kitchen!! I'd be too tired to eat it once it was finished 😅

This video sent me down an hour long rabbit hole, and ended with me finding a local farm that will sell me whole oxtail.

I want it!! Looks sooo good! I love oxtails! 😋

Torture! Thanks for the yummy video, Andy❣😋 Also, Oxtail cheesesteak has grown in popularity in Philadelphia PA, USA.

Just a heads up. There are natural points of separation on the oxtail.
You can cut each vertebrae with one smooth gentle cut. You should ask a butcher friend to show you.

The way the ox tail pulls apart looks so good

My FAV!! I use beef short ribs sometime oxtail but there $25 per KG!!! Put in the slow cooker before bed wake up to liquid gold save for gravy, stews and pasta and the best beef for mainly grilled cheese
