SLOW COOKER SHORT RIBS
Slow-cooked beef short ribs used two ways. Can anyone say 'M'm! M'm! Good'? Put the meat in a hoagie roll and serve with the reserved broth for dipping. Or, moisten with your favorite barbecue sauce and serve on a toasted bun.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Soak ancho chiles in boiling-hot water until softened, about 20 minutes, then drain in a colander set over a bowl. Taste soaking liquid: It will be a little bitter, but if unpleasantly so, discard it; otherwise, reserve for braising. Transfer ancho chiles to a blender and purée with onion, garlic, chipotles with sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Pat ribs dry and sprinkle with pepper and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown ribs in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer as browned to a roasting pan just large enough to hold ribs in 1 layer.
- Carefully add chile purée to fat remaining in skillet (use caution, since it will splatter and steam) and cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Add reserved chile soaking liquid (or 1 1/2 cups water) and coffee and bring to a boil, then pour over ribs (liquid should come about halfway up sides of meat).
- Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and braise ribs in middle of oven until very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Skim fat from pan juices and serve with ribs.

CROCK POT ASIAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS
Very tender chunks of meat with a great Asian flavor that will melt in your mouth. Not too spicy, but you can add more pepper if you like it hotter. You can buy five-spice powder, a spice much like star anise, in most Oriental markets. Goes great with rice and steamed or stir-fried veggies for a nice Asian meal.

SHORT RIBS WITH COFFEE AND CHILES
There is hardly a combination of flavors that does not work with short ribs, as long as you braise them. In Alsace, they use leftover coffee as a braising liquid. When you combine that with a couple of types of chiles and a little red wine, the result is an unfamiliar yet old-fashioned dish that seems to please everyone.

Steps:
- In a heavy pot that can later be covered, drizzle oil. Over medium heat, brown ribs well, adjusting heat as necessary to get a dark crust. Take your time, and season with salt and pepper as they cook. Remove them to a plate and turn heat to low.
- In same pot, cook onions, garlic and chilies, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Add wine and coffee and reduce over high heat by about half. Return ribs to pot, cover, and cook over low heat (or in a 300-degree oven) for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until very tender - beyond when meat falls off the bone - turning every hour or so. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.

Steps:
- Toast cumin seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant and allow to cool.
- Grind cumin seeds in a mortar or spice mill.
- Toast ancho chiles in a hot dry skillet until aromatic, about 30 seconds per side.
- Soak anchos in warm water, submerged, for about 30 minutes, or until soft.
- Remove anchos from liquid (discarding liquid), remove stems and seeds and discard; and cut anchos into small pieces.
- Season ribs with cracked pepper and brown ribs on both sides in a skillet or under the broiler.
- Place garlic, salt, lemon juice, tomatoes (with their juice), ancho chiles, habanero chile, and ground cumin seeds in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- Place ribs in the crock pot and cover with sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6 hours or until ribs are tender.
Tips:
- Sear the short ribs: This step helps to develop flavor and color in the ribs. You can sear them in a large skillet over medium-high heat, or in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Use a good quality ancho chile sauce: This is the key ingredient in the recipe, so make sure you use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. You can find ancho chile sauce in most grocery stores, or you can make your own.
- Let the short ribs cook low and slow: This will help to tenderize the ribs and allow the flavors to meld together. Cook the ribs for at least 8 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the short ribs with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Crock-pot short ribs in ancho chile sauce is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides and enjoy!
