#1
Lengua (Ox Tongue) Tacos
GuacamolesPeckham·$$
£10.00
Tender braised ox tongue in hand-pressed corn tortillas.
Tip: If you eat offal, order this over everything else. The tongue is cooked until it is tender with a slight mineral funk that beef and pork do not have.
#2Score 89/100
Oxtail-Stuffed Roscoff Onion with Beef Short Rib
Core by Clare SmythNotting Hill·$$$$
£26.00
Roasted Roscoff onion stuffed with braised oxtail, served with beef short rib.
Tip: This is comfort food refined — oxtail and beef richly braised, but presented with elegance and precision.
#3Score 88/100
Oxtail Giouvetsi
OMABorough Market·$$$
£24.00
Orzo pasta baked with oxtail, bone marrow, and beef fat pangrattato.
Tip: Pull the meat off the bone and mix it thoroughly into the orzo for the best texture and flavor distribution. Don't eat them separately.
#4Score 88/100
Maltagliati with Oxtail Ragù
BruttoFarringdon·$$
£16.50
Hand-torn pasta shapes with rich, fall-apart oxtail ragù.
Tip: The maltagliati with oxtail ragù is part of Brutto's exemplary pasta selection. The hand-torn shapes catch more of the slow-cooked sauce.
