Slow-Cooker Short Ribs With Cheesy Polenta image

Sounds delicious. Posted for safe-keeping. From Ladies Home Journal. Their nutritional info is VERY different from Zaar's for this recipe, I think Zaar is forgetting that there are bones in the ribs, not just 4 pounds of straight meat.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups frozen pearl onions (from a 16-ounce bag)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 lbs beef short ribs with bones
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup low sodium beef broth
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped (plus additional for garnish)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my short ribs turned out tough and the polenta was gluey. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish is a keeper! The short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender and the polenta was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the short ribs and the polenta, and it turned out much better.

I love this recipe! The short ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the polenta is creamy and cheesy. I like to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables.

This was my first time making short ribs and they turned out amazing! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The polenta was also very good, although I might try a different recipe for the polenta next time.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this recipe changed my mind! The creamy texture and cheesy flavor were the perfect complement to the tender short ribs.

I loved the cheesy polenta, but the short ribs were a bit dry. I think I'll add more liquid to the slow cooker next time.

The short ribs were a bit tough, but the polenta was amazing! I'll try this recipe again, but I'll cook the short ribs for a bit longer.

This dish was amazing! The short ribs were so tender and the polenta was creamy and flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic to the short ribs for a bit of extra flavor. I highly recommend this recipe!

My family loved these slow-cooker short ribs! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the cheesy polenta was the perfect accompaniment! We added some chopped fresh parsley to the polenta for a bit of extra flavor. A definite repeat!
