Oxtail … relax, it’s Beef Roast & Gravy!

Roast Beef with Coconut Flour Gravy ... with Tony Chechere's and Black Pepper.

I’ve been on my fully Primal Journey for about 19+ months now.  All the while, I’ve maintained normal blood sugars … for non-diabetics.

For much of that time I have eaten ‘normal’ primal foods. By that I mean things normal people would eat … ground beef, pork chops, pork roasts, steaks, chicken, beef roasts, etc. I would also eat vegetables too of course.

… but I cut out almost all the carbs, grains, sugars and vegetable oils.  I say this so YOU will know… YOU do not have to eat all of the ‘taboo foods’ that I post about…. but you should try it… you might like it. :))

This food and recipe is in large thanks to… JIMMY ALVA… who routinely promotes diverse foods, simply by displaying his love and enthusiasm for them himself.  Also thanks to his wife (Dawn) who sent me a recipe which guided me with this one… THANKS!!! :)

Now … I bring you …. OXTAIL!

Relax! … it’s just like roast beef!!!  Sincerely, it tastes just like a delicious, juicy, tender roast beef.

Additionally, I also made my first official “primal gravy”. I’d made gravies before… but they were really nothing more than reduced broth and heavy cream. THIS WAS A GRAVY FOR REAL!

Steps

1)   Place the Beef Oxtail with a cup of water in the GROK POT!!! … see how easy!!! lol! :))

2. I cooked the meat on high in the Grok Pot for about 4 hrs.  I then covered in water and added onions and let it cook for a couple of more hours.   The wisk in the picture was used for the gravy. :)

Note: You could set the Grok Pot on low and cook all night or all day, but I would definitely cover it in water before doing so.

3) Making Gravy

Here’s a post I did, just on making the gravy. :) Coconut Flour Gravy

(By the way… I never thought I’d make nor taste gravy again… DELISH!!! )

a) Using a coffee cup I dipped out 4 cups of broth and placed in a small pot. I added approximately a half a cup of Heavy Cream (or Heavy Whipping Cream) and let simmer, STIRRING REGULARLY.

b) After letting it ‘cook down’  or reduce for about 20 minutes I added the 3 TBS of coconut flour.  Let it cook for another 10 or 15 minutes… wisking and stirring almost continuously… I did. :)

Coconut Flour did not add any coconut flavor to the gravy… but it did thicken it up nicely. After I ate I went back to check the gravy and it had thickened up MUCH more than even shows in the picture. So let it ‘sit’ if you want thicker gravy. :)

4) Remove Oxtail and place on a plate or platter.

5) Add Gravy

6) Season and EAT!!!!!

Summary:

… SERIOUSLY … this was D-lish!!!!   It was AWESOME!

… it had the texture and taste of  a succulent fatty chuck roast.

…. I swear to you… if I fixed this for you… YOU COULD NOT tell the difference.

… it is THAT GOOD!!! :)

Until next time… stay PRIMAL STRONG!!!!
