Hey cousins! If you haven’t heard, I launched my very own seasoning and cookware company, Rosamae Seasonings, at the beginning of the year. We have several seasonings such as my Seasoning Salt, Greens Seasonings, Yams Spice, and one of my newer seasonings Oxtail Seasoning!

Smothered oxtails are a hearty, delicious soul food staple.

My Oxtail Seasoning consists of a sea salt, spices, dry herbs, and more. My goal was to make cooking soulful oxtails easy, and from all of the feedback I’ve been getting it’s safe to say that I’ve achieved just that.

In this post I’m going to show you how I make my slow baked smothered oxtails. These oxtails will be baked in the oven so there’s no need for anything other than a good baking pan. Oh, and you’ll also need a frying pan because we will slightly fry the oxtails to brown them.

    Oxtails are way out of my budget at $12 a lb. There is a Caribbean recipe called Poor Man’s Oxtails that replaces oxtails with fresh turkey necks. I’m going to try it with your wonderful recipe that is great for a cold day.

      You can use beef ribs with this recipe. NOT the short ribs. They’re pricy, too. They’re yummy, too.

    Rosie, your recipes are phenomenal. Do you think Food Network will reach out to you and ask you to do your own show? That would be wonderful don’t you think

    I was wondering if you could use round steak or cubed steaks instead of the ox tails? They sure do look good! Thank you for your recipes and the newsletter:) Have a Happy Easter.

      I don’t suggest using steak as a replacement. Maybe beef neck bones, or short ribs.
