What an excellent recipe!!! First off let me say that this does not quite feed 6 people(more like 2.5). I bought a little over 3lbs (exactly 6 oxtails) and it fed 2 people with very little leftovers. I did trim my oxtails a little so that I would not end up with a pot of grease. Also I slightly altered the recipe (I always end up doing that) by adding 2 cans of beef broth, doubled both the Greek seasoning and season all, used a little worcestershire sauce in place of browning sauce, and doubled the garlic. Oh and I cooked for 3 hours(TENNNDER). The gravy is sooo good. I served this with Jamaican style rice and peas and fried plantains (from this site). I will post a pic soon of this wonderful dish. It certainly is a soul food blast from the past. Thanks so much for posting this!!!

This was a very tasty recipe that my husband and I enjoyed very much. I don't like using the grease or shortening in the gravy though, and I don't think it needs it. Next time I will just use the broth with the flour only to make a gravy, like in the smoothered porkchops recipe on this site.

AWESOME! I also added a scotch bonnet pepper for some West Indian kick!

Let me say first that we really liked this recipe... it's good comfort food. But, I'm giving it only three stars for two reasons: 1) it didn't step up and knock my socks off...DH didn't rave and say "make this again soon!" but he said it was good. And 2) there is NO WAY this serves 6 people! There is not much meat on oxtails, it is mostly bone. I started with 2.21# and with the mashed potatoes and the gravy (which was good) it just served the two of us. I will admit that DH is a big eater, but I am NOT so we even out. If the amount listed was for two people, I would raise it to four stars, but for novice cooks who don't know, it's very misleading, hence one less star.

Wonderful recipe! Make sure you double the gravy, there was a "fight" over the last ladle full left in the bowl (I won)

I was really nervouse when making this dish but it turned out perfectly. I didn't use the "greek seasonings" just Lawry's seasoned salt and pepper and it was fine. And oxtails are relatively fatty, so if you've never had them like one of the commenters below then don't be surprised. You can trim it down though. But that's where most of the flavor is in my opinion.

I had never tasted oxtails before and wanted to try something different. Maybe I should've trimmed the fat first because they were very fatty. The taste was okay, but tasted too "stewy". I browned the meat first and sauteed the onion and garlic before adding the water. Glad I can say I've had them, but probably won't make again. Sorry!

Usually cook oxtails in a crock pot so next time I'll follow the recipe and slow cook on low for 6 hrs. Great mix of flavors and the gravy was awesome. This is a keeper!

This recipe was great. I'm just beginning to "really" cook, and this dish was exactly as I remembered it as a child. My family used to make this all the time.

This receipe was wonderful. I love oxtails that I had to buy at a local restaurant and so I tried it for the first time here at home and followed the instructions to the letter. I will be enjoying Oxtails with Gravy at home from now on! Thank you so much!
