This oxtail recipe was my mom's, and it's a soul food blast from the past. I adjust spices to my taste (I love lots of spices). You can double the gravy if you like. My family loves this dish served with rice.

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. 1

    Place oxtails, onion, garlic, Greek seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and seasoning salt in a large stockpot. Fill with enough water to cover oxtails and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook oxtails until tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove from heat and reserve 2 cups broth.
