1

Preheat the slow cooker to High.
2

Rinse the neck bones and trim any excess fat. Season the bones with cumin, allspice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt; dust with 1/4 cup flour.
3

Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned neck bones; cook until they start to brown, about 1 minute per side.
4

Move the neck bones and pan drippings to the preheated slow cooker; add the beef broth and the onion.
5

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

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