Thawing in the sink, what would you do?

Make beef vegetable soup. Bones, a couple of bags of frozen mixed vegetables, a potato cubed about the same size as the frozen carrot chunks in mixed vegetable bag, a small onion minced, a can of condensed tomato soup and water to cover about 1 inches. My brother adds barley, but I don't. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for an hour or two. Ladle into a bowl and eat.

I picked up the oxtail first, gota' save those for special.

Bake them in a 400 oven for several hours. Pour off the grease, deglaze the dish, then boil the bones at least overnight in water with a couple tablespoons of vinegar. Use as stock for soups.

This is a good pho' recipe.

The family opted for beef, and noodles.

Yep, I always use the bone that is in the middle of a 2” thick piece of chuck when making vegetable soup.

Minestrone...

I like to char or roast the bones until you get a little color to them for more flavor.

Just made enough Irish stew to feed the neighborhood, I added Real Ale Coffee Porter beer and that added a lot of flavor. Instead of flower use pureed vegetables to thicken. This is a good thing to do with shank or neck meat as you cook it down enough to develop a rich broth and the tendons and silver skin mostly disappears.
