Today we are making Smoked Oxtails on the Pit Barrel Cooker. This recipe starts by seasoning the oxtails, followed by smoking in the Pit Barrel and then finishing in a wine braise.
Ingredients
• 8 oxtails
• Beef seasoning (or salt/pepper/garlic); I used Runnin’ Wild Brisket Rub, more info here
• Vegetable spray as needed for a binder
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1, 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
• 3 cups red wine
• 1 tablespoon horseradish
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 5-6 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 diced shallot
• ½ teaspoon Fiori salt (or Kosher salt)
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon flour
• 1/3 cup tepid water
Recipe Instructions
1. Spray oxtails with vegetable oil.
2. Season both sides with the Runnin’ Wild Brisket rub.
3. Place oxtails on pre-lit Pit Barrel Cooker with 2 each cheery and oak wood chunks.
4. Add the remaining ingredients (excluding the flour and tepid water) to a pot over medium high heat and bring to a simmer.
5. Mix the flour into the tepid water to make a slurry.
6. Mix the slurry into the braising liquid.
7. Simmer the liquid for a least 30 minutes.
8. Smoke the oxtails on the Pit Barrel for 3 hours until the color is to your preference.
9. Add the oxtails to the braising liquid, cover and then pace back on the Pit Barrel Cooker for 2.5 hours or until the oxtails are starting to fall apart.
10. Let rest for 10 minutes and then serve!

Did the acidity of the tomatoes and wine oxidize the cast iron dutch oven?
That braising liquid that you made sounded so good and those oxtails look amazing there at the end – definitely falling apart and totally worth the time you spent on them 😋😋😋
Oh man that oxtail turned out great. The PBC never fails. Do you mind sharing what camera and mic setup you are using?
Hey guys those tails look great and that wine sauce adds a bother layer of flavor! But those mashed potatoes was awesome! Great video!
Looks amazing. Gotta try for sure
Great recipe, those oxtails looked amazing!
I also have never had oxtails before, but these looked like they turned pretty good to me. You guys seemed to be genuinely enjoying them. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.
I told my wife about your recipe and she said it sounds good. I’m going to make it for my wife and see. I will let you know later down the line, what the income .
I love oxtail ! Looks yummy !
I love oxtail. Use it most ofthen for soup, but have made chili using them too. Very tasy
Awesome video Jeff! That’s going on in my repertoire for my pit barrel real quick! One bit of advice!! Next time you make a slurry, make it out of cornstarch and water. For that pot it would’ve been about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to a quarter to a half cup of water. In the short run, corn starch blends a lot faster than flower does. And pick up is better for a brarise.
Awesome video Jeff Someday I will do oxtails! Rock On!
Way to go Jeff! That was awesome! They looked ready to eat out the smoker…..but after braising in that liquid…they were over the top great!
Love Oxtail! 👍
That looked good. The spine sections would add a lot of richness to the broth. I have to ask; though, do they charge a counter-intuitively high price for fly swatters (like they do for chicken wings)? I remember something like 25 years ago when you could get chicken wings for around 39 cents/lb. If I had to pay more for fly swatters than for ribeyes (by edible meat volume), I'll choose those steaks EVERY time. It could be just me, but it seems to make more economic sense. I look forward to your venison recipe; I still have a fair amount of that left in my freezer – including a nearly 20 pound neck roast.
Geeze I love me some ox tails..yum!!
I know , you has done a lot of videos. But something ,I don't understand . the pit barrel why people load that much charcoal . it doesn't need that much unless you doing a long cook. Oxtails doesn't need no binder oxtail has enough fat on it. The oils will come out of the oxtails for the rub to stick … Smh !!!! It's a nice video 🍷🍷
I'm willing to give this a try. You sure make it look delicious!
Very nice Jeff! I need to try Ox Tails!
Holy Heck Jeff!! That was Awesome . Restaurant quality indeed
