What kind of meat is Oxtail?

Oxtail is the tail of a cow. A long time ago, it came from the tail of an ox, but now it comes from the tail of a cow of either sex.

The tail is skinned and cut into sections.  Each section has a tailbone with some marrow in the center, and a bony portion of meat surrounding the tail. The meat is gelatinous, and is best used for stocks, soups, and braises.

Oxtail requires a long time to cook since it’s so bony and fatty and is the good for braising.
