Ox Tail

Got to enjoy my first ox tail at the Haitian resturant Tap Tap in
Miami. Tasted like it was braised in a tomato base sauce that gave
nice flavor to the meat. The meat tastes about the same as a braised
short rib but less fat. On the side was beans mixed with cornmeal
which I now like better than beans and rice. Not pictured are several
rum punches used to wash everything down.

  1. Ox tail, or rabo encendido (flaming tail, literal translation), takes about 2 or 3 hours to make. But totally worth it, the meat is super tender, and you're absolutely right the sauce is tomato based.

  2. the side looks like something that came out of a tail, but I'll take your word for it. what consistency does it have? Is that methane bubbling up?

  3. It was very fresh, they actually walked a cow through and had it contribute to the bowl right there in front of the table. So organic...
