Savory and Mouthwatering Traditional Indonesian Oxtail Soup from Java. Authentic Recipe of Sop Buntut.

Things to know about Sop Buntut Recipe

The Indonesian Oxtail Soup from Java is more commonly recognized by its local name, Sop Buntut. This soup is very different from the American and European versions of the oxtail dish, due to the use of half a dozen different spices that are not available in the western part. This dish brings a sophisticated layer of flavor, bombarding your senses with an amazingly delicious fragrance from the soup. As stated in its name, this dish used the tail cut of beef, the oxtail. This alone gave the soup a richness from the collagens and fibrous tissues that are broken down during the process of cooking. Historically, the Sop Buntut is popularized in Java as street food sold by hawkers in the 1970s. Other variants of the Sop Buntut include the Grilled Sop Buntut, in which the oxtail is BBQ grilled beforehand to give a nice smoky flavor to the soup.
