Air Fried Braised Oxtail

If you’re a fan of rich, tender, fall-off-the-bone meat with a crispy exterior, this Air Fried Braised Oxtail recipe is the perfect dish to try. Combining slow braising with the quick crisp of the air fryer, this method delivers deep, savory flavors with a satisfying texture. First, the oxtail is seared to lock in all the goodness, then braised low and slow in beef bone broth until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. Finally, a quick blast in the air fryer adds the perfect crispy finish. Drizzled with melted butter, this dish is both indulgent and packed with nourishment, a true carnivore delight!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs oxtail
  • 32 oz beef bone broth
  • Seasonings (as desired) – e.g., salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.
  • Tallow (for searing)
  • Melted butter (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Sear the Oxtail:
    In a Dutch oven, heat tallow over medium-high heat. Season the oxtail with your desired seasonings and sear on all sides until a deep golden-brown crust forms (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  2. Braise the Oxtail:
    After searing, add the beef bone broth to the Dutch oven, making sure the oxtail is mostly submerged. Bring to a simmer and cover the pot with the lid slightly cracked. Allow it to braise on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone.
  3. Air Fry for Crispiness:
    Once the oxtail is tender, remove it from the broth and let it cool slightly. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the oxtail in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is crispy.
  4. Serve:
    Remove the oxtail from the air fryer and drizzle melted butter over the top before serving.

Enjoy your crispy, tender, and rich air-fried braised oxtail!

Air Fryer Mahi Mahi

This Air Fryer Mahi Mahi recipe is enhanced with a delightful crunch from crushed pork rinds as a keto-friendly breading alternative. Flavored with simple seasonings and finished with a light spray of oil before cooking, this dish delivers a healthy, low-carb meal that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 2 oz pork rinds, crushed into fine crumbs
  • Oil for dredging and spraying (tallow, ghee, or lard)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:
    • In a small bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, smoked paprika, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to blend the seasonings thoroughly with the pork rinds.
  3. Prepare the Mahi Mahi:
    • Melt enough oil to liberally coat the Mahi Mahi fillets. You can do this in a small pan or microwave.
    • Brush the melted oil over both sides of each Mahi Mahi fillet. Ensure they are well coated as this will help the pork rind mixture adhere to the fish.
  4. Dredge the Fish:
    • Place the seasoned pork rind mixture in a shallow dish.
    • Press each oiled fillet into the mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Ensure the fillets are fully covered with the pork rind mixture for the best texture and flavor.
  5. Spray with Oil:
    • Before cooking, lightly spray the breaded Mahi Mahi fillets with oil. This will help achieve a more golden, crispy exterior as they cook.
  6. Cook in the Air Fryer:
    • Arrange the breaded Mahi Mahi fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
    • Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
  7. Serve:
    • Carefully remove the Mahi Mahi from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Air Fryer Mahi Mahi, a dish that’s perfect for a quick dinner or a special occasion. The extra step of spraying the fillets with oil ensures a perfectly crisp finish every time!
