Our neighbor brought over some delicious beef short ribs that he made over the weekend. They were so good that I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I knew that is what had to be tonight's dinner. I've had some short ribs frozen ever since we got all of our beef from our share of our grass fed cow. I cooked them all day until they literally melted in my mouth. I kept putting off cooking them because I thought it would take to long, or it would be hard, but it was super easy.
You will need:
5 lbs beef short ribs
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 cups baby carrots
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped onion
8 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 bottle of dry red wine( if you don't want to use wine, add more chicken broth)
1. Start by seasoning the ribs on both sides generously with salt and pepper
2. Heat olive oil in skillet and brown ribs on both sides
3. Place ribs in slow cooker and top with carrots, garlic, celery, and onion
4. In a large bowl combine honey, vinegar, and chicken broth and mix well. Then pour on top of beef and vegetables.
5. Finally pour wine on top
6. Cover and let cook 6-8 hours.
Serve over mashed cauliflower or sautéed spinach.
Low or high for the crock pot? I bought boneless so I wasn’t sure which to cook it at. I have done ribs but not short ribs before.
If you are going to be cooking them all day I would just put it on low. If you only have about 5-6 hours, just put it on high.
Thanks!
