Put the beef oxtail in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, and discard the first foam.
Add fresh water, onion, garlic, celery stalks, cloves, and black pepper.
Cook the meat over low heat for 95 minutes until it is ready to pull away from the bone.
Cut the carrots and potatoes into large cubes.
Add the vegetables, nutmeg, and salt to the pot, then cook for 24 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the cloves, rest the soup for 6 minutes, and skim off excess fat from the surface.
Serve hot with a lime wedge and fried shallots.
💡 Tip: Remove the first boiling foam; for a clear beef broth, that step matters more than the spices.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sop buntut as a large bowl with steamed rice, lime wedge, sambal, and fried shallots.
