Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning beef short ribs with salt and pepper, then searing them on all sides to develop a caramelized crust. The ribs are transferred to a slow cooker with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Cooking the ribs on low heat for 6 to 8 hours breaks down the meat fibers, resulting in tender ribs that almost fall apart.
The slow cooker liquid infuses the meat with savory depth from the broth and spices while maintaining moisture. The rosemary sprig imparts a subtle herbal note. This cooking method requires minimal hands-on time while producing flavorful, fork-tender ribs suitable for serving with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the juices.

Instructions
