Oxtail with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce



Oxtail with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce
Oxtail with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce. I just love oxtail no matter how it is cooked, braised or soup dish, you can never go wrong. To most Pinoy oxtail or beef tail are considered premium cut of beef. Beef tails are usually available in Metro Manila wet markets with skin on, I hope I could cook a Kare Kare dish using beef tails with skin on, that would be extra yummy particularly the gel like skin of the beef tails when properly cooked.
