Indulge in a culinary delight that marries rich flavors with health-conscious choices with our Recipe for Low-Carb Braised Oxtails. This dish reimagines the classic oxtail braised to perfection, transforming it into a diabetic-friendly option without compromising on taste. Through the art of braising oxtails, we've harnessed the essence of tenderness and depth while keeping it low in carbs. A secret lies in the incorporation of guar gum, a natural thickening agent, which eliminates the need for traditional flour while maintaining the velvety texture of the sauce. Embrace a dish that caters to your well-being without sacrificing the pleasure of savoring succulent, fall-off-the-bone oxtail, all in a reduced-carb form that's both satisfying and kind to your dietary needs.
Ingredients
-
2 lb. oxtails (bone-in)
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1/3 cup butter
-
2 tbs. soy sauce
-
1 tbs. fish sauce
-
3 tbs. tomato paste
-
1 tsp. onion powder
-
1 tsp. minced garlic
-
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
-
1 tsp. dried thyme
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1/2 tsp. Cape Crystal guar gum
Directions
STEP 1: Heat up the beef broth on the stove and mix in the soy sauce, fi sh sauce, tomato paste, and butter.
STEP 2: Transfer to the slow cooker once mixed together and hot, then place the oxtails inside as well.
STEP 3: Season the oxtails and broth with onion powder, minced garlic, ground ginger, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 4: Set the cooker and forget it: cook on low for 6-7 hours.
STEP 5: Once cooked, remove the oxtail from the slow cooker and set aside on paper towels to drain (if you are going to serve them dry).
STEP 6: Using an immersion blender, blend together the leftover juices in the slow cooker. Add guar gum while blending to make a cohesive and thickened sauce.
Recipe Note
Knobby and fatty, with protruding discs of marrow, oxtails turn off a good many home cooks before they even get started. But step right up, your new favorite braised dish is here. The deliciousness of these braised oxtails can't be overstated.
