Oxtail Soup Made in a Staub Cocotte
I've loved oxtail soup since I was single. I always used to make it in a plain straight sided pot.
I started making it in a Staub cocotte a couple of years ago, and I've been enjoying a soup with no water added, something that's possible in a Staub.
Everyone around me is really into this soup too, so I decided to upload it...
-Just watch the heat level and let it simmer. It's very easy.
Please vary the recipe in any way you like. Recipe by *ai*

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre-process the oxtail first. Put the oxtail and some water (not listed in the ingredients) in a large pot over high heat.
- 2
When the pot comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low-medium, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- 3
After 30 minutes, drain the oxtail into a colander and throw away the simmering liquid. Rinse the oxtail under running water to remove any scum.
- 4
Fill a bowl with water, put in the boiled oxtail, and leave to soak for 30 minutes.
- 5
Peel the garlic and crush the cloves with the side of a kitchen knife. Cut up the ginger roughly.
- 6
You can just use the garlic and ginger as-is, but I put them in 3 fillable tea bags.
- 7
Tie up the green part of leeks with kitchen twine.
- 8
After Step 4 is done, rinse off the oxtail again under running water, and make sure that blood is not seeping out between the bone and meat.
- 9
If there is some blood, rinse it off very well. In Korea, where this recipe is from, they soak the oxtail for 24 hours apparently, but I've simplified it.
- 10
Put the garlic and ginger and green part of leek into the Staub cocotte along with the oxtain and water, and start cooking over medium heat.
- 11
When it comes to a boil, cover with a lid, and turn the heat down to the lowest possible setting on your hob. Leave to simmer for 1 hour.
- 12
After an hour, move the cocotte to the hob with the weakest heat. Set the heat to the lowest possible setting, and simmer for 4 hours.
- 13
(You don't need to move the cocotte in Step 12 if you're already using the weakest-output hob in Step 11.)
- 14
After 4 hours have passed, open the lid and take a look inside. Because of the unique characteristics of the Staub lid, and because it was simmered over a very low heat, there's almost no change in the water level.
- 15
Poke a bamboo skewer through the oxtail to test how tender it is. If it's as tender as you want it to be, it's good.
- 16
The soup looks like this at this point. I sprinkled in some rock salt and tried it, and it was already sooo good.
- 17
At Step 15, if the meat is still tough, put the lid back on and simmer for another hour. Check again.
- 18
Take the leeks out of the pot (after Step 15 or 17) and put in the daikon radish. Set the heat to medium.
- 19
When the soup comes to a boil, turn the heat back down to the lowest setting possible, and simmer for 1 to 2 hours.
- 20
After 1 to 2 hours have passed, turn the heat off. Season with salt and pepper and the soup is done.
- 21
Oxtail soup that hasn't had any water added at all is richly flavored and sublime. We simmer it a bit more every day and enjoy it for about a week.
- 22
I add some chopped white leek, salt and pepper, and medium-grind chili pepper just before serving. It's also great as-is, or with kimchi and rice added to turn it into a gukbap...
- 23
The tender and juicy oxtail, which is something that the Staub cocotte is so good at producing, is irresistably good. Do try this authentic, richly flavored oxtail soup.
- 24
Addendum: This recipe calls for 1 kilo of oxtail, but if you're going to make this with 1/2 or 1/3 the amount...
- 25
...use a 18 to 22cm diameter cocotte ronde. Use enough water to fill the pot 80 to 85%.
- 26
If you use cheap beef tendon or membranes and make a similar simmered soup...it's close to a white creamy gum tang soup.
- 27
The flavor is different but just as deep and rich. I make both soups and combine them when I feel like it.
- 28
This is a gukbap (Korean soup) made in the same way, using oxtail and tendon. This is seriously delicious too.
- 29
If the fat in the oxtail soup bothers you: Strain the soup, and put it in the refrigerator or freezer.
- 30
In a short time, the fat will solidify as shown here. Just scoop this off. This is an easy way I just thought up.
- 31
If you are using a regular pan: Follow the recipe up to Step 10; from Step 11 on, keep simmering while observing the soup's progress, adding a little water occasionally as needed.
- 32
Although it depends on the size of the oxtail, I think ideally you want to simmer it for about 7 hours or more. This is delicious even if you don't have a Staub cocotte.

California Farm Clear Oxtail Soup California Farm Clear Oxtail Soup
A pound of ox tail beef bones browned in butter on all sides till dark, then simmered 3 hours in cold water with spices, a whole onion and 2 garlic cloves, never boiled, then sieved, makes the richest fragrant clear broth. If you cannot find oxtail bones, beef neck bones are a good substitute.The deboned meat is added back to the broth with fresh celeriac root, shallot, carrot, cilantro, rice noodles. A shot of of Amontillado Sherry is added to each hot soup bowl when serving. The broth is eaten first.On the soup plate, after the broth has been consumed, the warm noodles, vegetables and meat are then mixed with french mustard, and pickled onion, or piccalilly sauce, and eaten as a second noodle course.Family tradition.

Korean Soup That's Good for Your Skin: Oxtail Gomtang Gukbap Korean Soup That's Good for Your Skin: Oxtail Gomtang Gukbap
I always order it at Korean barbeque restaurants, so I thought I could make it myself.If you simmer it covered with a lid it will become white creamy soup. If you simmer uncovered it will become clear soup. Just let it simmer and leave it alone! If you don't have dried scallop soup powder, you can use Chinese chicken stock powder. You can even do without any soup stock powder at all! For 2 servings. Recipe by Silvy1978

Ox Tail Soup Instant Pot IP Ox Tail Soup Instant Pot IP
Ok, since this was the first time I made this in the IP, I figured it would need a couple/few more attempts before being worthy to put on Cookpad. I was very wrong. But that is basically why I have no step photos this time. I had not planned on publishing it from the start. The broth was "over the top" and the Ox Tails perfectly cooked, so I had to share. The leftover broth I used the next day to make Ramen! It turned out so good. We used the crusty bread, ripped in pieces, to soak up the broth. I wanted to do something different from noodles or rice. It worked perfectly, but rice or noodles would be fine also. I might try this with short ribs, I think they would work great in this.NOTE - a lot of Ox Tail recipes ask you to soak, and then par boil the tails. I did none of that, just so you know. I did rinse them under running tap water, just because, but that was it.

No Soup Stock Needed Chinese Cabbage Pot au Feu No Soup Stock Needed Chinese Cabbage Pot au Feu
Pot au feu is a French hot pot. It's not a fancy dish at all, but in the cold of winter I feel like eating something like this. The only seasoning is salt. In France they don't add instant soup stock either.Have you ever made pot au feu and thought there's something lacking? And you may have added instant soup stock and other things. But if you cook it in the moisture that comes out of the vegetables only, the flavor will be very rich.And by letting it cool down once, the umami (glutamates) will be concentrated. It's the same reason that curry is more delicious the next day too. Recipe by pogue -
