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

Directions
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.
2
Warm bacon drippings or shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir for 3 minutes.
3
Stir in 2 cups reserved broth and browning sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until gravy thickens.
4
Place oxtails in the skillet; stir to coat with gravy. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
