Directions
2. Drizzle the worcestershire sauce all over the oxtails, then toss the oxtails to make sure that they are coated. 3. Next, sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour all over the oxtails and make sure that the oxtails are coated with flour. 4. Next, pour the vegetable oil into a large pan and place the pan over medium heat. 5. Once the oil is nice and hot, add the oxtails to the pan and brown them on every side. 6. Once the oxtails are nice and brown, remove them from the pan and put them in the slow cooker. 7. Return back to the pan with the hot oil. If there are burnt pieces in the pan, pour out the oil, strain, clean the pan, then pour the strained oil back into the pan. Make the Onion Garlic Gravy 1. Start adding the remaining flour into the pan, but onlyu a little at a time. Whisk continuously. 2. Once the flour is brown and chunky in texture, 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. 3. Once the gravy reaches a full boil, reduce the heat to medium, and add the sliced onions and garlic. 4. Stire the gravy and do a taste test. Add as much salt and pepper as you need to to taste. Slow Cook the Oxtails 1. Turn the heat off and pour the gravy into the slow cooker covering the oxtails. 2. Make sure that the oxtails are nicely covered with gravy, then set the slow cooker on high. Cook for 8 hours. 3. Once done, serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or whatever you like. 4. Enjoy! |
