  • Using your hand, rub all the ingredients into the meat being sure everything is coated with the seasonings.
  • Cover and let the meat sit in crockpot for 20-30 minutes to let the seasonings absorb into the meat.

  • Add 1/2 cup of water.
  • Add sliced Onions, Rosemary & Cornstarch and stir.
  • Cook on low for 6 hours or until Oxtails & Beef Short Ribs are fork tender and falling off the bones.
  • Cooking time will vary based on thickness of the meat. Midway through cooking time, stir and adjust seasonings as needed. If liquid hasn't thickened to a gravy consistency, mix 1 teaspoon of additional Cornstarch into a couple tablespoons of cold water then proceed to add into hot liquid and stir. Continue the slow cooking process.
  • This can be served with some good ole fashion Cornbread on the side or on top of some white rice for added goodness.
