8 lbs meaty oxtails
cayenne pepper, as needed
black pepper, as needed
salt, as needed
1 onion, diced
7 garlic cloves
1/2 cup salad oil
3/4 cup flour
2 tomatoes, diced
1 lb carrot, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
1 tablespoon beef base
salt, as needed

1
Line a roasting pan with foil. Rinse the oxtails with water and place them in the roaster.
2
Sprinkle lightly with cayenne (I usually use paprika), black pepper and salt.
3
Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for one hour, turning them over occasionally so that they become nicely browned.
4
Remove from oven and drain off all the fat. Set aside.
5
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.
6
Add the flour and wisk for about 30 seconds.
7
Add 5 1/2 cups water. Whisk until the flour dissolves.
8
Add tomatoes, Kitchen Bouquet and beef base.
9
Bring gravy to a slow boil.
10
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.
