Best 2 Oxtails With Gravy Recipes

OXTAILS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Place oxtails, garlic, onions, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, Greek seasoning, and seasoning salt in a large stock pot. Fill with enough water to cover oxtails, and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove from heat, and reserve 2 cups broth.
• Warm bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and browning sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until gravy thickens. Remove from heat.
• Place oxtails in skillet, and stir to coat with gravy. Return to stove, and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

BASQUE OXTAIL STEW IN BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Line a roasting pan with foil. Rinse the oxtails with water and place them in the roaster.
• Sprinkle lightly with cayenne (I usually use paprika), black pepper and salt.
• Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for one hour, turning them over occasionally so that they become nicely browned.
• Remove from oven and drain off all the fat. Set aside.
• Combine the onion, garlic and oil in a blender (or food processor). Process until the onion is finely chopped. Place this mixture in a 2 gallon vessel and cook over medium heat until it becomes translucent.
• Add the flour and wisk for about 30 seconds.
• Add 5 1/2 cups water. Whisk until the flour dissolves.
• Add tomatoes, Kitchen Bouquet and beef base.
• Bring gravy to a slow boil.
• Add the oxtails and carrots and simmer for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until the meat comes off the bones easily. Check for salt. Serve hot.
• Note: The recipe lists tomatoes in the directions but not in the ingredients, so I just added 2 diced tomatoes when I have made this. I also add some celery, but that isn't in the original recipe.
