- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
-
-
Season the oxtails with 2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
-
Drizzle the worcestershire sauce all over the oxtails, then toss the oxtails to make sure that they are coated.
-
Next, sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour all over the oxtails, and make sure that the oxtails are coated with the flour.
-
Next pour the vegetable oil into a large pan, and place the pan over medium heat.
-
Once the oil is nice and hot, add the oxtails in, and brown them.
-
Once the oxtails are nice and brown remove them from the pan, and put them in the slow cooker.
-
Return back to the pan with the hot oil.
-
-
If they are burnt pieces in the pan, pour out the oil, strain, clean the pan, then pour the strained oil back into the pan.
-
Start adding the remaining flour into the pan, but only a little bit at a time.
-
Whisk continuously.
-
Once the flour is brown, and resembles ” chunky peanut butter”, slowly pour in the beef broth or water.
-
Whisk while you pour!
-
Make sure everything is lump free, then turn the heat from medium to high.
-
Once the gravy reaches a full boil, reduce the heat to medium, and add in the sliced onions, and garlic.
-
Stir the gravy, and do a taste test.
-
Add as much salt & pepper that you think you may need.
-
Turn the heat off, and pour the gravy into the slow cooker covering the oxtails.
-
Make sure that the oxtails are nicely covered with gravy, then set the slow cooker on high.
-
Let cook for 8 hours.
-
Once done serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or whatever you’d like.
-
Enjoy!
