Beef Oxtails Suya

Description

Oxtail is the tail of a cow. In olden days, 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.

Although oxtail may not be pretty to look at, its taste is worth seeing past its knobby appearance. Simply put, the oxtail tastes like beef, and when cooked, creates a deeply rich flavor. Oxtail, the tail of beef cattle, is considered a delicacy by Caribbean-Americans and other lovers of West Indian food.
