The ox tail should last up to a year in the freezer. You can slow thaw in the fridge or quick thaw in a bowl of cold water. Once thawed, it will last 3-5 days in the fridge.

One of the best methods for cooking ox tail is using a slow cooking method. This allows the meat to become incredibly tender and flavorful. This can be achieved through braising, stewing, or using a slow cooker.

  • Sear the ox tails first. Browning the oxtails in a pan before braising adds depth of flavor.
  • Build the base. Sauté aromatics like onions, garlic, and carrots in the pan.
  • Add liquid and seasoning. Add beef bone broth, red wine (optional), fresh garlic, and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Braise in the oven or on the stovetop for several hours, or use a slow cooker on high for 5-6 hours until fork-tender.

Ox tail is often served with starchy sides like rice, potatoes, cornbread, and polenta. It is often used in Jamaican stews with a flavorful brown gravy.

As the seasons allow, our cows are raised in the open pasture or field. They are 100% grass-fed and finished, which means they only eat their natural diet of grasses and what they forage on pasture. In the colder months, they have hay and free choice organic nutrients in the barn.

Our cows are NEVER supplemented with grain feed. Our goal is to raise the healthiest and happiest animals possible!

What breed are your cows?
Our beef cows are Black Angus.

How long is the beef aged?
Our beef is dry aged (or hung) for 10 days.

What part of the cow is the ox tail from?
Yup, you guessed it. The ox tail is from the tail part of the beef.

Why is grass-fed beef more nutritious than conventional beef?
Grass-fed beef is considered healthier than grain-fed beef because it contains more omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and antioxidants, while also being lower in total fat.

Do your cows get mRNA vaccines?
Nope! At Miller's, it's a hard no for mRNA vaccines. None of our animals have or will get them. While we're on the topic, none of our farmers vaccinate their animals at all!

The ox tail is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
