Time 7h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 dried ancho chiles*, stemmed, seeded, and ribs discarded
1 medium onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
6 pounds beef short ribs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Warm corn tortillas
Mexican crema or sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Soak the ancho chiles in boiling water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and discard the liquid. Transfer the softened chiles to a blender. Add the onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Puree until smooth.
  • Pat ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown the ribs in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned ribs to a slow cooker.
  • Pour the sauce over the ribs (liquid should reach about halfway up sides of meat),
  • cover and cook for 7 hours on high until very tender. Allow the ribs to cool slightly in the sauce.
  • Remove the ribs from the sauce. Discard the bones and shred the meat into a large bowl. Skim the fat from the surface and discard. Mix the sauce into the meat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the meat and sauce into warm corn tortillas and serve with Mexican crema and chopped fresh cilantro.

Slow Cooker Korean Rib Tacos image

My slow cooker version of Korean tacos made with spare ribs, a recent trendy dish. The meat is sweet and savory! A perfect combination of Korean and Mexican tastes. Serve meat on slightly grilled flour tortillas or hard taco shells. Top with sour cream, salsa (a simple or fresh red works best), shredded cabbage, kimchee-flavored bean sprouts (drained), and lime juice to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Country-style pork ribs are the best choice for this recipe. They are meaty and flavorful, and they hold up well to slow cooking.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% pure chili peppers and that has a deep red color.
  • Don't overcook the ribs: The ribs are done cooking when they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Overcooking them will make them tough and dry.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the ribs and stay on them when you pick them up. If the sauce is too thin, it will run off the ribs and make them messy to eat.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for country-style pork ribs include coleslaw, barbecue sauce, and pickled onions.

Conclusion:

Spicy slow-cooked country rib tacos are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The ribs are cooked in a flavorful chili sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and then they are served on tortillas with your favorite toppings. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
