Oxtail Soup - Gluten Free, Keto

Oxtail Soup is a clear broth soup that makes use of oxtail as the main ingredient, together with fresh ginger, star anise, chilli pepper flakes, pak choi, spring onions, and cilantro. The oxtail is the tail of a steer, usually skinned and cut into several sections. It's marbled with fat and the meat is gelatinous and flavourful, therefore it's ideal for slow cooking, braising or in soups.


1.2 kg Oxtails, cut into about 4-5 pieces 3-4 slice Ginger, peeled 3 Whole star anise 1 tsp Whole white peppercorns 750 ml Homemade beef broth 750 ml Water Salt to taste 2 Spring onions, chopped 1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped Baby pak choi 1 Lime, cut into wedges Chilli pepper flakes Ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place the oxtails on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the roasted oxtails from the oven and place them in the Instant Pot with ginger slices, star anise, peppercorns, beef broth and water. Cover and set to “Soup”, 30 minutes.
When the oxtails are done cooking, let the pressure release naturally. If you’re in a hurry, just release the pressure manually after 30 minutes has elapsed.
Arrange pak choi in 2 soup bowls. Add in a piece of oxtail or two, and then ladle the soup into the soup bowls. Garnish with lime wedges, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger matchsticks, cilantro, and green onions.

Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake 14/9/20 16:11: Oxtail soup was the only dish he ever claimed not to like. His mom made it during the depression....I imagine pickings were slim and it wasn't anything like the gorgeous, flavorful dish you've shared here. In fact, I know I've purchased oxtails in the past...I just didn't feed them to my parents, LOL.
Aarthi | Prepbowls 14/9/20 18:45: Clear soup with herbs and spices looks so good and comforting Angie, I use lots of whole spices, definitely would like to try this recipe. Thank you for the share. Have a great week.

tigerfish 15/9/20 00:23: Love gelatinous meat anytime! The last time (that was a long time ago, gosh!) I made oxtail soup was slow-braising with daikon .
Heidi | The Frugal Girls 15/9/20 00:30: Using the Instant Pot to prepare your oxtail soup is such a fabulous shortcut. And your choice of seasonings make this soup so heart warming and delicious!
Valentina 15/9/20 06:11: What a beautiful soup, Angie. I haven't made an oxtail soup since I was in culinary school years ago. This is a good reminder to make it again. :-) ~Valentina
Eva Taylor 15/9/20 14:00: We are huge fans of Asian and Asian inspired soups, always so comforting. Unfortunately, cuts like oxtail have become expensive here because chefs like to use them to make flavourful stocks for sauces and gravies. They used to be so cheap!

Balvinder 19/9/20 17:36: The recipe sounds easy and delicious but I might try with some other meat.
