    I can almost Taste it! – I first met oxtail stew in the late 1960s as a live-in student on a small farm in Northumberland. Back then, oxtails were so cheap you could hardly Give them away, so my boss's mother used them as a staple, and I've loved them ever since.
    Great recipe! The star anise is a nice touch, (will definitely try that next time) and in return, try adding a little bit of mustard powder to your dusting flour. It seems to bring out the flavour of the meat.
    The butcher down Harbour St will be open in half an hour, so it's coat on, and off to town. That's right, – oxtails for dinner again!

    Hi Adam,thank you so much for the recipe! I dont really like the taste of wine in stews,will it still come out ok if I just use beef stock or water? And can I omit the star anise when substituting out the wine? Or is it still ok to use it? Am I only to use a table spoon of flour? The last recipe I tried called for 1 and 1/4 cups of flour to make the gravy as well and all the flavor got lost with me trying to thin out the gravy from all that flour so I'm a bit weary of using too much or too little flour

    Oh I’m having a right debate with myself Adam …Never tried a slow cooker,scared of cast iron,or invest in Le Creuset life time oval casserole 🤔Everyone seems to be choosing a slow cooker but I’m stuck,I can’t make a decision to save mi life lol All that aside yours looks lovely,no purée for me lol 👍🏻☺️

    When doing this recepie, if I do the prep at night, should I still toss everything in the slow cooker pot the night before, keep in fridge overnight and then toss on cooker in the morning? Or am I good to start cooking in the night prior and eat it when I get home from work the following day?

    One of my favourite dishes, and I have to agree oxtail is a ‘cheap’ cut of meat and vastly underrated, cooked low & slow and you can take the meat 🥩 off the bone with a teaspoon it’s always soooooooo tender.

    No one ever mentions removing the stupendous amounts of fat. Artery blockers! What I do is I remove the vegetables and meat from the slow cooker after everything is cooked, and place the juicy broth in a cold place. Can be outside or in fridge. I then peel off the fat, discard it or put it in a fireplace and burn it, and replace the veggies and the meat and re-heat. This time, you can use a saucepan as you don't want to overcook the meat and other ingredients as the softer ingredients all but disappear.

    Just put mine on in the slow cooker, got my oxtail and some diced beef yesterday and found this really easy to follow.
    I'm not sure it will taste as good as my Grandmothers but having not had it in many years I'm looking forward to the end result…and the nostalgia of this gorgeous stew.
    I'll post a pic when it's done thank you Adam

    Love your video. I make oxtail stew, but yours reminds me of my grandmother's. I had forgotten a few steps. Will definitely make this later this week. Thank you. Cheers!

    Your content and style is so perfect for me. This is so helpful. I so enjoy your videos and I continue to learn so much. You definitely inspire me to be in the kitchen. Thank you Adam 🔆

    Edit: also for those saying oxtail isn't cheap, it clearly depends on where you are.

    I was researching for alternate oxtail stew recipe and after viewing a few, decided to follow your recipe. The only ingredients I did not add are garlic, salt and beef stocking (replace with chicken stock). I start preparing at 11am and use slow cooker to cook for 4.5 hours. The stew is ready to eat at dinner time and it tasted so yummy. 🙂 thank you so much for your video!

    Holy Oxtail! Hi Adam, this is my first video I have seen you've made and I had to, just HAD TO subscribe! I am right now making oxtail stew pretty much identical to yours, except I drank all the red wine so I deglazed the pan with homemade beef broth/stock and did not use any star anise as I do not have any on hand. Otherwise it's the same. The smell is amazeballs! Can't wait to feed my hubby tomorrow this deliciousness. I also had pretty much the entire oxtail cut in pieces, so it should truly be fantastic! Tons of collagen!

    Happy New Year and happy cooking! I'm glad I found your youtube channel!
    Ella & Dave 😉
