Slow Cooker Short Ribs
My boyfriend took over dinner tonight so I don't have the definite measurements but cooking is meant to be creative so add as little or as much seasoning as needed
How To:
1) Brown 4-6 short ribs on the stove in olive oil
2) After browned transfer to a plate
3) Sauté one small onion and 2-3 cloves garlic in same pot until golden brown. Wait till onions sweat to add garlic
4) Add one box of beef broth to pot, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tbsp tomato paste to pot. Bring to a simmer with ribs back in.
5) Transfer everything to the crock pot with fresh thyme and rosemary
6) Season with salt and pepper
8) Cook on low for 6-8 hours
9) If you want the gravy to be thick add corn started until you reach the desired consistency when almost done
7) Serve over mashed potatoes and with a preferred veggie

Short ribs are a delicious cut of meat that become incredibly tender when slow-cooked. They are ideal for gatherings and special occasions, as they provide a rich, satisfying meal. To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the short ribs overnight with spices like paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. This not only infuses the meat with flavor but also helps to break down connective tissues, resulting in a fall-off-the-bone texture. For a deeper taste, you can also deglaze the pan after browning the short ribs by adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar. This adds complexity to the sauce that develops during the slow cooking process. Additionally, incorporating vegetables like carrots and celery can create a heartier dish, making it more nutritious and filling. Serving the short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes is a classic choice. The rich gravy complements the potatoes perfectly, providing a comforting and satisfying meal. Don't forget to add some steamed or roasted vegetables on the side for a balanced plate. For those looking for a complete dining experience, pair your dish with a robust red wine, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, to enhance the flavors of the meal.
