Cooking Techniques for Beef Neck Bone

There are a few different cooking techniques for beef neck bone. The first is to braise it, which means to cook it in liquid (usually water or broth) for a long period of time at low heat. This method works well with both oxtail and neck bones because it helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor from the liquid.
Another option is to roast your beef neck bone on top of an open flame until all sides are browned, then cover with aluminum foil and continue roasting until tender enough to easily shred apart with two forks. This technique creates a delicious crust around each piece of meat while still keeping them moist inside!
You can also sear all sides of your beef neck bone(s) over high heat until they’re nice and browned before transferring them into an oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 180 C). This will give you a crispy exterior while keeping everything else nice and juicy inside!

Cooking Techniques for Beef Oxtail

There are many ways to cook beef oxtail. If you’re looking for a place to start, here are some of the most popular techniques:

• Braising: This is one of the most common ways to prepare oxtail because it’s easy and delicious. Braises can be made with wine or broth as well as vegetables like carrots and celery–and they’re often simmered in the oven at low temperatures for hours on end until tender.
• Stewing: Similar to braising but less liquid is used; stews typically call for adding water halfway through cooking so that your final product doesn’t come out too dry or overcooked (which would result in tough meat).
• Fricassee: A fricassee involves browning pieces of meat before simmering them in stock until tender; then you add flour directly into your saucepan along with butter or cream for thickening purposes before serving over pasta or rice pilafs!

Conclusion

Beef neck bones and beef oxtails are both cuts of meat that come from the tail of a cow.

Beef neck bones can be purchased at most grocery stores, while beef oxtails must be special ordered or bought directly from a butcher shop or farmer’s market.

Beef neck bones are usually less expensive than beef oxtails because they have more fat on them and take longer to cook properly (about 2 hours). This means they’re great for making slow-cooked dishes like soups or stews where you want lots of flavor but don’t necessarily need tender meat right away.

Both cuts have lots of collagen in them–collagen is what makes your skin look younger when you age! So if you want to keep looking young, try cooking with these two delicious cuts!
