Ingredients
- 2 packs beef short ribs (2 large ribs to a package)
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup flour
- 5 Tablespoons molasses
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
- 1400 ml tomato sauce can
Instructions
- Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add in the butter and melt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper and flour. Dredge the short ribs through the mixture, coating well until they are covered.
- Fry the short ribs in the skillet until they are browned on the outside. Place them in the bottom of a large slow cooker.
- Mix up your sauce now - the molasses, tomato sauce, onion powder and vinegar, then pour it over the ribs. I always seal my crock pot to keep in moisture, tinfoil between the top and the lid, the tinfoil seems to help heat and moisture-wise.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours, then they just literally fall off the bone! Serve on a bed of rice and use the sauce on the rice as well.

Notes
- I cook one large short rib per person and you can do the same. Buy large, fresh looking (bright red, not dry) short ribs that have marbled fat throughout the meat.
