Oxtail: What It Is, And What To Do With It. This inspired me to write a post on this delicious but relatively unknown cut of meat. 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, and a bony portion of meat surrounding the tail.
Noun. 1. oxtail-the skinned tail of cattle; used especially for soups. tail-the posterior part of the body of a vertebrate especially when elongated and extending beyond the trunk or main part of the body. oxtail soup-a soup made from the skinned tail of an ox. Translations.
