Savory Oxtails with Rich Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef oxtail
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
• 1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 4 cups water, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or shortening
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 dashes browning sauce
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a large stockpot, combine oxtails, onion, garlic, Greek seasoning, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and seasoning salt. Add enough water to cover the oxtails and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until oxtails are tender. Remove from heat and reserve 2 cups of broth.
2. Heat bacon drippings or shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring continuously, for 3 minutes.
3. Gradually stir in the 2 cups of reserved broth and browning sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
4. Add the oxtails to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the gravy. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the oxtails are heated through, approximately 5 minutes.
