Hello, this is Chef John from Foodwishes.com with oxtail rendang curry.

00:06

That's right, oxtails are trending,

00:08

which is absolutely horrible news for people like me who want these to be not popular so as to keep the prices down.

00:16

But since the tail is out of the bag, I figured I might as well show you one of the most delicious ways you can prepare them.

00:23

And to get started, let's meet the star of the show, which are called oxtails,

00:28

since apparently nobody bought these when they called them cow tails.

00:32

And what we'll do after we have these on a foil lined baking sheet is drizzle them with a little bit of oil and

00:38

then we'll kind of flip them and

00:39

rub them around to coat.

00:41

And then eventually we will spread those out so they're spaced evenly,

00:45

because before we cook these in our curry sauce we are going to transfer them into the center of a 450 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until they're

00:54

beautifully brown and while the browning of the meat step is always optional, they're definitely going to look and taste better,

01:00

so I highly recommend you do this.

01:02

And that's it; we'll let those sit and cool while we move on to build our curry.

01:06

And for that, all the ingredients are going to be fairly familiar, except possibly these two, which would be some galangal root,

01:13

Which is a type of ginger that's very fragrant and

01:16

very citrusy, and we peel it and slice it the same way.

01:19

And then, if you can find it, we'll also do one stock of lemongrass,

01:23

and we'll go ahead and trim off the greener top part before we bruise it with the back of a knife,
