DARK BEER BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS (CROCK POT)

Dark Beer Braised Beef Short Ribs (Crock Pot) image

Adapted from a recipe by Fabio Viviani. Reducing the quart of beef stock to 1 1/2 cups is not included in prep time and a must for a good depth of flavor. A good stout beer is also a must for this recipe, I use Guinness extra stout. Boneless or bone on ribs can be used for this recipe. I have stated 8 hours for cooking time but that will depend on your crock pot, with mine the bone on ribs were almost done at the 6 hour mark so I turned the warm cycle on and let simmer for 2 more hours, they were perfect.

Steps:

In a medium sauce pan reduce the quart of beef stock to about 1 1/2 cups and set aside.
Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, and then dredge in flour until well coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the dredged ribs until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side.
When browned on both sides, remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside. Reserve pan drippings for later.

Serve over egg noodles or rice and top with sauce.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef short ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or bony.
Brown the ribs before cooking them in the crock pot. This will help to develop their flavor and create a richer sauce.
Use a flavorful liquid in the crock pot. This could be beef broth, red wine, or even apple cider. The liquid will help to tenderize the ribs and infuse them with flavor.
Add vegetables to the crock pot. This will help to round out the flavor of the ribs and make the dish more nutritious. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
Cook the ribs on low heat for 8-10 hours. This will allow the ribs to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
Serve the ribs with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a simple salad are all good options.
