Confidence votes 267. Oxtail is the tail of cattle. It used to only refer to the tail of an ox (aka a castrated male) but now it refers to the tail cattle in general. 17 people found this useful.
After being skinned, the oxtail has a fair amount of meat left, although it is somewhat sinewy. Because of this, oxtail is best cooked by braising or by being made into a stew or soup. Some chefs prefer to use oxtails as the basis for beef broths and stock because it has a strong beef flavor and a large amount of gelatin, which gives soups and sauces a rich mouth feel.
