Do it often, take off any lumps of fat then brown, fry onions and carrots, add a little plain flour, then brown ale, season , add the sauce to the oxtail pieces, slow cook until meat falls off the bone, encase the meat and sauce in some shortcrust pastry, resulting oxtail pie is a fine meal with roast spuds and vegetables.. and cheap

When I was wooing Lady Seagrave, I spent an entire weekend (so it seemed) double-cooking oxtail for a pie. What compounded things was trying (for the first time) to make puff pastry from scratch, whilst, at the same time keeping my housemates at bay and trying to play the sophisticated urban male for the benefit of Lady S!

I recall we eventually started eating at about 10pm :lol:

PS: pie was delicious - I slow-cooked the oxtail and mirepoix in red wine the day before then left it to cool. I shedded the meat and marrow into the gravy, and added a load of pan-fried kidneys before making the pie. Perfect combo of great big pieces of just-done kidney, in a magnificently rich meat sauce. Exquisite. And the whole thing cost me next to nothing (from Ridley Road market)

Lady S is a lucky gal. I trust that having then taught her how to cook you have never looked back. Taught my wife to cook and now leave her to it as one of the “pink” jobs I don’t need to do any longer. 😁

Seriously, problem now a lot of the younger generation don’t know how to cook unless it is microwaved, wouldn’t have a clue what to do with oxtail or lamb best end of neck. Good cheap cuts wasted.

No. I can't remember where I have bought it from in the past.

Morrisons, Lidl or Aldi, perhaps, but certainly not Spa.

I'm surprised that you were adding to your sugar load, though.

I find that a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and a squeeze of tomato puree rounds out any slightly off flavours
