She does want a brand suggestion for the bulgogi sauce though.

Yeah, I'm going to suggest to the owner the oxtail goes on the menu, unless it's too much labour cost (which I suspect it might be). It was the best dish there (other than the foie).

I was getting pretty hammered by the last course, the hangar steak.

Shouldn't really be. Oxtail is easy to prepare, just a few minutes of work and then a long time waiting while it simmers. Whenever someone walks by, they skim the pot. Easy peezy. Plus housemade pasta dough costs like 2 cents a portion. So unless there is more to the equation, it shouldn't be that labor intensive.

Don't you have to pull the meat out of the bones though?

True, but if braised properly, the meat should come off easily and it shouldn't take too long, unless doing huge quantities.

Man, I need to go find some oxtail recipes, and experiment this weekend.

This is where a crock pot or a pressure cooker would be a great tool to use.

What I like to make is an Irish beef stew, but instead of using beef chunks, I use oxtail. The gelatin from the tendon and fat in the tail really make for a nice mouth feel.

Good call on the crock pot. I'm not sure what path exactly I'm going yet, but think it will involve browning off some tails, then simmering them with veg and wine in a crock pot. Thinking over some noodles or mashed potato.
