Slow Cooker Beef Neck Bones and Gravy

Beef neck bones are a Southern staple recipe. I couldn't find a recipe online, so I created this one on my own by pulling from some of my favorite oxtail, roast, and pork neck bone recipes. Turned out yummy so I thought I'd share. Serve over steamed rice and peas or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat slow cooker to High.

Step 2

Clean neck bones and remove any excess fat. Season bones with cumin, allspice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt; dust with 1/4 cup flour.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add seasoned neck bones; cook until bones begin to brown, about 1 minute per side.

Step 4

Transfer neck bones and drippings to the preheated slow cooker; add beef broth and onion.

Step 5

Cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook 4 to 6 hours.

Step 6

Transfer neck bones to a dish. Sprinkle remaining flour into the slow cooker and stir well. Return neck bones to slow cooker. Let stand until gravy thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
