Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion (peeled and sliced)
1 bag(s) baby carrots (small bag)
3 stalks of celery (sliced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
3 sprig(s) thyme
1 sprig(s) rosemary
1/3 c flour
8 beef short ribs (about 2 lbs)
2 c red wine
1 3/4 c beef stock
1 can(s) tomato sauce (8 ounce)
1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, carrots, and celery for 8 to 10 minutes, until just beginning to color. Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for a further couple of minutes. Remove from the pan and place in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • 2. Season the flour generously with salt and pepper. Coat the short ribs well in the flour. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and brown the short ribs in 2 batches until golden, adding any remaining flour with the second batch of ribs. Remove the ribs from the pan and place on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
  • 3. Add the wine to the pan to deglaze, and reduce it by half, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any sediment. Add the stock, tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves, and stir to combine. Pour the sauce over the ribs and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Serve over mashed potatoes or a creamy polenta.

We love short beef ribs. This recipe is very simple and easy and the barbecue sauce gives the ribs a great flavor. The ribs are so tender, they will fall off the bone. Out of 4 pounds of ribs there were only 5 left.

Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 lb short beef ribs
28oz bottle sweet baby rays hickory & brown sugar barbecue sauce
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly salt and pepper short beef ribs and place in crockpot. Pour half of the sweet baby rays over ribs. Cook ribs for 7 hour on low heat. Drain juice off of ribs and pour other half of sweet baby rays barbecue sauce over ribs and simmer for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef short ribs: Look for short ribs that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brown the short ribs before cooking: Browning the short ribs in a pan over high heat before adding them to the slow cooker will help develop their flavor and create a richer sauce.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to the slow cooker along with the short ribs will help create a more flavorful and well-rounded dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine used in the braising liquid should be of good quality, as this will help impart its flavor to the short ribs.
  • Cook the short ribs on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the short ribs to become fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavors to develop fully.
  • Serve the short ribs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice are all good options.

Conclusion:

Crockpot beef short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and tender dish that your family and friends will love.
