STEP 1: Heat up the beef broth on the stove and mix in the soy sauce, fi sh sauce, tomato paste, and butter.
STEP 2: Transfer to the slow cooker once mixed together and hot, then place the oxtails inside as well.
STEP 3: Season the oxtails and broth with onion powder, minced garlic, ground ginger, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 4: Set the cooker and forget it: cook on low for 6-7 hours.
STEP 5: Once cooked, remove the oxtail from the slow cooker and set aside on paper towels to drain (if you are going to serve them dry).
STEP 6: Using an immersion blender, blend together the leftover juices in the slow cooker. Add guar gum while blending to make a cohesive and thickened sauce.
