Season oxtails with kosher salt and black pepper, then drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and coat with flour.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat and brown oxtails on all sides, then remove from pan.

In the same pan, make a roux by adding flour to the oil and whisking until golden brown, then gradually add beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps.

Bring gravy to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in onions and garlic, cooking until softened.

Pour gravy over oxtails in the slow cooker and cook on high for 8 hours until tender.
