Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs

Melt-in-your-mouth tender beef short ribs slow-cooked in a rich red wine and aromatic herb broth.

Prep time: 20 mins · Cook time: 8 hours · Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3 lbs Bone-in beef short ribs
• 1 large Onion, chopped
• 2 Carrots, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine or extra beef broth
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 4 Fresh sprigs of thyme

Instructions

1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet over high heat, sear the ribs on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to the slow cooker.
3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the onions and carrots until softened. Add garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute.
4. Pour in the wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then pour this mixture over the ribs in the slow cooker.
5. Add the thyme sprigs. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or until the beef is incredibly tender and falling off the bone.
