Instructions

Season the boneless ribs with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the ribs on all sides. You don't want to cook them through, just a quick sear on each side.
Remove the ribs from the pan and add the carrots, onion, and garlic. Saute briefly just until they begin to soften.
Add the wine to the vegetable mixture and de-glaze the pan. Cook until the wine has reduced by half.
Add the mixture to your crockpot along with the remaining ingredients. Mix to combine.
Add the beef ribs to the crockpot and bury them in the sauce.
Set the crockpot to LOW and cook for 4-6 hours.
Shred the beef into the sauce and mix to combine.
Serve over your favorite pasta, polenta, or spaghetti squash! We like ours topped with fresh basil and parmesan.

Notes

You don't have to sear the ribs first, but it really does add a lot of flavors. You will notice a difference.
