Smoked Oxtail

Serves 4
Taken from the cow tail, this cut is heavily marbled and has a rich flavor similar to short ribs or pot roast.

Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 6 to 8 hrs

Ingredients

• Oxtail 4 to 5 pounds (4 to 6 pieces)
• Salt and Pepper Rub (Mix of 1/2 Salt and 1/2 Black Pepper)

Instructions

1. Season the Oxtail evenly with the Salt and Pepper rub. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Set up your smoker to cook at about 250°F and try to maintain that temperature throughout the cook.
3. When the temperature is where you want it, place the Pork on the smoker fat side up.
4. After 4 hours check the Oxtail. If the Oxtail is separated or the fat is split it is time to wrap it in a double layer of foil.
5. After about 4 hours, check the to see if it is done. The internal temperature on an instant-read meat thermometer should read 205°F. If not, put the Oxtail back on the smoker and check the temperature every 20 minutes.
6. When done let it rest for about 45 minutes to an hour with the foil on.
