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!
