Just made this for my family and I almost had a civil war between the Wife and kids they all wanted more portions. Absolutely tasteful and delicious. You Sir, are my grilling mentor Malcolm.
This guy needs a TV show. Great content without any overly complicated technique or hard to find ingredients. Just simple food prepared the right way by a guy who’s passionate about what he does. Thanks as always for the post
@@melhicks8279 yeah i agree with this. Or nothing wrong it even making the others pay your share of the rent if you have to take on all the risk and responsibility.. going to the extreme but hey way i see it, if you are paying a reasonable market rate for the accomodation, it just seems like the guy who has the lease did all the leg work and has to manage all bills and risk or if any house mate decides they just want to bail, then who covers the rent shortfall? i wont see any of the other housemates jumping in to pay an extra $100 p/w until a new person if found? if i had say 3 housmates, Id charge them $50 extra if I can to cover for the rent if something happens and a room is vacant. Lets say if 3 all leave in a short time, that means I am paying $800p/w.... just sayin.
As a West Indian, I am accustomed to braised oxtails. This is the first I've come across such an idea as smoked 'tails. They came out beautifully. I would slaughter that dish. Great job sir
Malcom, I've always cooked oxtails in the crockpot. for one reason it's simple.But for the extra worked you put in and I entrust in you I have to try it your way. Cannot thank you enough for what you have done for my smoker. My family gives me all the credit because of you.For that I salute you sir. Keep the videos coming!
If I had to choose one dish to eat everyday for the rest of my life, it would be oxtail. I’ve made it a hundred times on the stovetop but this is one of the BEST preps of this dish I’ve ever seen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Properly cooked oxtail tastes better than the best ribeye you’ve ever had, man. Can’t wait to try this on my Weber Kettle!! Thanks, brutha 😃🙌🏽
Malcolm, I don't know you from Adam but when I get that notification that I have a new HowToBBQRight video all seems right with the world. I get to see a jolly guy make BBQ that looks so good you would slap your momma for a piece. Hats of to you brother...A toast to the strangers in our lives who give us thankless moments of joy in such a crazy world.

My wife is Jamaican and ox tails is her favorite food so I'm going to have to show her this recipe. It might be hard to compete with her 'how mama used to make it' recipe tho
When I was growing up, nobody but country folks, especially Black folks cooked ox tails. We had them several times a month because they were inexpensive. Now....they're a special occasion meat because they're so damn expensive, especially here in the NY-NJ areas.
@@colorfulcodes Well, if you cooked them from scratch where I live they cost 5.99-8.99 per pound. In San Diego they're about $14-$18 per plate & twice that much at a fancy sit down restaurant $28-$36.
This recipe was an absolute HIT for Mother’s Day!! My wife said I had to add it to my BGE rotation. I really enjoy all of your videos. You help me look like I know what I’m doing. 😄 Keep up the great work, Malcolm!
I made this and it was a big hit. The flavor is so rich and delicious. I made this and finished it in the oven. My neighbors and everyone went crazy for it. I didn't throw away the veggies they went great with the gravy. I'm from the Caribbean and this isn't how we do oxtails there but when I tell you THESE ARE THE BEST OXTAILS I'VE EVER TASTED MY WHOLE LIFE. I'll never make oxtails any other way again. Great job dude. 😎
Just made these yesterday. Mmm good! My wife never had oxtails before & she really liked these. Make these if you can. No dutch oven or cast iron pan needed. I just put them in a doubled foil baking tray. I kept the carrots, onion & celery in the dish. Just skimmed the fat. This recipe is a winner!
Do you have any local Asian grocery stores? Stuff like this is usually MUCH cheaper for me at Asian markets than it is at my local grocery store or butcher.
Finally. A right recipe for ex tail. A tip, if you put that sauce on the stove on a good simmer, half on and half off of the burner, it forces the fat to migrate to the non-working side so its easier to skim. Keep skimming until it's all out and you can make an awesome glaze which has an amazing texture and flavor. The mouth feel is smooth, any fat just runs it. You'll be spoiled once you've had it. You can find the detailed instructions on how to make a proper glaze in a braised short rib video. Trust me, as much effort and love as you put into this, its worth it. :)
hey like that style of cooking oxtail here in Trinidad we more less stew it but like your method of smokin it first sure it will be delicious will be giving it try keep up the great work from Trinidad
Smoking the oxtails is so much easier than browning them in oil with browning liquid! I season mine with the traditional Barbados seasoning then I place them on the smoker for about three hours. Then I place them in a braising liquid to get them tender for another 2-3 hours. I got the smoking idea from you and that is soooooo much better!
Awesome job! What's even more awesome is his voice. He sounds like a sports caster who I would totally enjoy listening to him narrate any sports event. Thumbs up!
$23.86 for 2lbs in South Carolina, just bought my first batch thanks to this video and all of you wonderful people. Cooking it this Saturday 😋. THANK YOU ALL!!!! Wish me luck 🙏 😅 🙂
Here in Germany we traditionall use ox for soup... Ochsenschwanzsuppe.. Never had it bbq style. After watching this i really have to try it soon. Good Job man!!
@@RoyaleWitCheese04 it's not just Jamaican, everyone used to use every part of the cow, so every culture has a dish to go with it, I would love to try jamaican oxtails though!
Yep…I’m doing this the next weekend I am off. My wife is preparing some oxtails right now in the crockpot, but I gotta try smoked first then braised. Yum! Thank you Malcolm, for this awesome Christmas gift…six years later!
Malcolm, have you thought about opening up your own restaurant? You're so incredibly talented and you've provided your RU-vid audience with some of the most delicious barbecue on the planet.
I've only ever had Cuban version of oxtail, which is one of my favorites. This will definitely be going in my recipe arsenal! Haven't been disappointed with any of your recipes that I've tried. Thanks for the awesome videos and helpful tips and tricks.
I have cooked Ox Tails many many times and they are delicious. I have never seen them smoked this way! Bravo on your ingenuity! I am going to have to try this. Fortunately I have a Drum smoker!! Great video!!
Listen to me. This guy us a genius! Ox tail is my favorite cut of beef I mean flavor wise not even the tomahawk cut can compare. I never thought of smoking them. Wow that must taste amazing!
Oxtail is the BEST PART of the cow, thanks for making this. It looked amazing coming off the grill. Try it with some greek pita toasted on the flames instead of rice.
Man I love your channel I'm not going to be PC correct I didn't know white folks ate oxtail! I have never smoked oxtails but I will now! My family loves oxtails with cabbage and plantains! You are awesome dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Malcom, this video is a yr old. I just got a new smoker and wanted to try cooking oxtails differently from the way I normally cook them which is with a slow cooker with cabbage. I came to You Tube, searched for"smoked oxtails" looked at the pics of what populated and chose the video of the oxtails that looked the most scrumptious which was yours. I am planning on making these in 3 days and if they come out ANYTHING like yours did I'm sure my family and I will LOVE them. I will come back with comments when I have made these. Thanks for your video, Im now subscribed to your channel.
People eat them now in America like no other. I'm referring to the American history of food scraps that the meat industry banks off of. 100 Percent the truth.
Funny fact ox tails used to be very cheap. They were considered a portion of the cow that people didn’t want once it was butchered. Well you see what happens when people start cooking things that others don’t want you get recipes like this and then everybody wants some ox tails. Now they are expensive.
Jonathan winters would love this, i know i do... you did a wonderful job with this instruction... I’m having oxtails today, and they will be smoked... thank u for your incredible tutelage.

Made this almost verbatim this week, with the exception of using Meat Church's rub instead of Malcom's. Also I kept the veggies in the sauce instead of straining them out. Paired it with some coconut rice along with the Serious Eats recipe for collard greens. Absolutely phenomenal. While I really appreciate the more traditional Jamaican/West Indies way of cooking oxtail, this recipe blew everyone's minds that had the pleasure of tasting it. The amount of smoke was perfect. It's so rich that you need something to cut through the beef, and the vinegary collards complemented the dish perfectly. I highly recommend trying this recipe at least once.
Hmm - the butcher already trimmed them, Fat adds flavor and energy - leave it on... by the way I was brought up on Oxtail at the time it was a cheap cut and I enjoyed it. It used to be a cut for the poor.
Most of us only have one smoker, so we would do this on whatever we have. I'm curious if you have some rationale for the smokers you use for each recipe. Is it merely dealers choice or is the smoker you use better for the type of cook you are doing?
You know, some smokers/grills are better for different recipes (one example is the drum makes bacon get a little crispier than it does on other smokers) ... but you really can do any recipe on any smoke if you know how to control your fire and temp. I really just try to rotate the grills I use so things don't get boring. And I learn something new about each smoker every time I cook on it, so I like that.
HowToBBQRight what's the name of your drum smoker that you just used for this ox tail? And where we can buy one? Tank you and more power to your channel. Subbed
Many makers of drum smokers are out there ready to buy, but they're expensive. The cheapest is to make your own. Google "Ugly Drum Smoker BBQ-Brethren" for instructions. Buying everything I needed new, including the drum itself, I spent less than $100USD to build mine and it cooks like something I spent 10x that amount on.
Let me bless y'all....after smoking them, throw em in the pressure cooker for about an hour instead of back on the grill for nearly 3hrs....it's a wrap!!!!
This is my second time cooking them and the first time I didn’t share with the kids, and I don’t think I’m sharing this time either. Man these are awesome
I made this as close to your recipe as I could, and it turned out absolutely fantastic. My wife was very surprised for our anniversary dinner thank you.
This looks SOOOOO GOOOOOD! I don't know how to cook, but after watching this video, I really want to try to follow this recipe and get me some of that oxtail.
I make mine in a crock pot similar spices low and slow, but I prefer a creamy mash potato with my oxtail! You made me real hungry there Malcom !! Oxtail is some of the finest tasting meats out there, must be cooked low and slow minimal 3-4 hours , get you sum Oxtail today !!
