4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef Oxtails

🥩🦴🧅 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef Oxtails

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 8–10 hours on LOW or 5–6 hours on HIGH
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 3 lb (1.36 kg) beef oxtails
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 packets brown gravy mix, about 1 oz (28 g) each
• 2 cups (480 ml) low-sodium beef broth

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pat the oxtails dry, then lightly sear them in a hot skillet for about 2–3 minutes per side, just until browned. Do not cook them through.
2. Place the lightly seared oxtails in the slow cooker.
3. Add the sliced onion evenly over and around the meat.
4. Sprinkle both packets of brown gravy mix evenly over everything.
5. Pour the beef broth gently around the sides.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until the meat is extremely tender and begins pulling away naturally from the bone.
7. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and plenty of the rich onion gravy.

TIP:
The quick sear adds deeper flavor and a richer color, while the slow cooker does the rest of the work.
