Answer 3

try to get the same size of ox tails, to cook evenly, bring to a boil and then put on medium heat for at least 2 to 3 hours to make them real tender, after they are tender use some of the broth to make the gravy with [be sure to season to taste]

ask your husband if he would like them with b q sauce on the grill after pre cooking[ until tender] tastes good that way
