Ox tail is a cut beloved by cooks who understand that the best flavours come from patience. Rich in collagen, marrow, and connective tissue, ox tail transforms during slow cooking into something extraordinary -- silky, gelatinous, and deeply satisfying.

Our halal ox tail is sourced from Australian cattle and certified halal. The pieces are cut through the tailbone into neat cross-sections, each surrounded by rich, dark meat that clings to the bone. When you need halal meat near me for a special slow-cooked dinner, ox tail is the cut to choose.

Braise it slowly with red wine, root vegetables, and herbs for a European-style ox tail stew. Cook a traditional nihari by simmering overnight with whole spices and wheat flour for body. Or make a rich bone broth that gels beautifully when chilled.

Ox tail benefits from the longest possible cooking time -- 3-4 hours minimum. Store refrigerated at 0-4 degrees Celsius and cook within 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 4 months. Hills Harvest is the halal meat store delivering ox tail and other specialty cuts across The Hills Shire, Blacktown, Parramatta, and Hawkesbury.
