Wagyu Beef, Ox Tail, 1.5KG

Wagyu Beef Oxtail 1.5kg is a 1.5kg jointed oxtail of Wagyu-cross beef — the richest, most collagen-laden oxtail available, where the Wagyu breed’s natural fat content combines with the cut’s inherent gelatinous qualities to produce a braise of extraordinary depth, body and silky richness that standard oxtail simply cannot match.

About Our Artisan Wagyu Beef

These Wagyu products are produced from Wagyu-cross cattle raised on small, high-welfare farms using traditional Wagyu husbandry principles — careful feeding programmes, low-stress environments and the slow growth rates that allow natural marbling to develop throughout the muscle. While distinct from Japanese-born and raised Wagyu, these cuts deliver the characteristic richness, tenderness and luxurious marbling of the Wagyu breed in a form that is genuinely accessible for everyday luxury cooking and entertaining.

Wagyu beef requires a different approach to cooking than conventional beef. The extraordinary fat content means it cooks faster and at lower temperatures than you might expect — the fat begins to melt almost immediately in the pan. Use a dry, very hot pan with no added oil, cook for less time than you think you need, and rest generously. Japanese A5 Wagyu in particular is so rich that smaller portions are recommended — 100–150g per person is often sufficient as a standalone steak. Season only with good flaky sea salt.

How to Cook & Serve

To get the very best from Wagyu Beef Oxtail 1.5kg:

• Season and sear the Wagyu oxtail pieces hard in a heavy casserole until deeply browned — the higher fat content means excellent caramelisation.
• Build a rich braising base with red wine, beef stock, aromatics and tomato purée — the Wagyu fat will enrich the sauce further during cooking.
• Braise at 150°C for 3.5–4 hours until the meat falls from the bone at the gentlest touch.
• Cool overnight in the braising liquid — the Wagyu fat sets on the surface and can be skimmed, and the dish reheats magnificently.

Perfect Pairings

Wagyu Beef Oxtail 1.5kg pairs beautifully with:

• Creamy mashed potato or smooth parsnip purée to absorb the silky braising juices
• Pappardelle — ribbon pasta tossed through the reduced braising sauce
• A full-bodied Italian red — Barolo, Amarone or Sagrantino
• Braised cavolo nero or wilted greens with olive oil

Storage & Preparation: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown. Remove from packaging and allow to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Season with good flaky sea salt only — this beef needs nothing else. Use a dry pan with no added oil or fat. Any leftover cooked Wagyu keeps refrigerated for up to 2 days and is excellent served cold, thinly sliced.

However you cook it, Wagyu Beef Oxtail 1.5kg brings genuine Wagyu richness and marbling to the table — a luxurious centrepiece that elevates any occasion.
