Oxtails with Gravy

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the oxtails, onion, garlic, Greek seasoning, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to submerge the oxtails, then bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, lower the heat to medium, and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 2½ to 3 hours. Remove from heat and set aside 2 cups of the cooking broth.

2. 2

   Melt the bacon drippings or shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes to form a roux.

3. 3

   Pour in the reserved broth along with the browning sauce, stirring to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Continue stirring over the heat until the gravy reaches the desired thickness.

4. 4

   Add the cooked oxtails to the skillet and toss to coat them thoroughly in the gravy. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through, about 5 minutes.
