Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion (peeled and sliced)
1 bag(s) baby carrots (small bag)
3 stalks of celery (sliced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
3 sprig(s) thyme
1 sprig(s) rosemary
1/3 c flour
8 beef short ribs (about 2 lbs)
2 c red wine
1 3/4 c beef stock
1 can(s) tomato sauce (8 ounce)
1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 bay leaves

Steps:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, carrots, and celery for 8 to 10 minutes, until just beginning to color. Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for a further couple of minutes. Remove from the pan and place in the bottom of a slow cooker.
2. Season the flour generously with salt and pepper. Coat the short ribs well in the flour. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and brown the short ribs in 2 batches until golden, adding any remaining flour with the second batch of ribs. Remove the ribs from the pan and place on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
3. Add the wine to the pan to deglaze, and reduce it by half, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any sediment. Add the stock, tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves, and stir to combine. Pour the sauce over the ribs and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Serve over mashed potatoes or a creamy polenta.

Tips:

For fall-off-the-bone tender short ribs, cook on LOW for 9-11 hours or on HIGH for 5-6 hours.
Sear the short ribs before slow cooking to develop a rich flavor.
Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Add a cup of beef broth or red wine to the crock pot to create a flavorful braising liquid.
Season the short ribs with your favorite spices and herbs. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
Serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
