Instructions
- Sprinkle your short ribs with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, quickly sear the ribs on both sides.
- Put the carrots and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the seared beef ribs on top.
- Combine your beef broth with garlic cloves, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste in a small bowl.
- Pour this mixture over the ribs.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours or until the meat is fall off the bone tender.
Notes
- Don't skip the sear! Browning the ribs before they hit the slow cooker isn't just for looks; it's for that deep, caramelized flavor that can't be replicated any other way.
- After cooking, you will find a layer of fat on top of the cooking liquid. Take a few minutes to skim it off before serving or making your gravy.
- To make a gravy, mix two tablespoons of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water for a cornstarch slurry. Stir it into the cooking liquid and cook on high for a few minutes.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
