Slow-Cooker Short Ribs With Cheesy Polenta image

Sounds delicious. Posted for safe-keeping. From Ladies Home Journal. Their nutritional info is VERY different from Zaar's for this recipe, I think Zaar is forgetting that there are bones in the ribs, not just 4 pounds of straight meat.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups frozen pearl onions (from a 16-ounce bag)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 lbs beef short ribs with bones
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup low sodium beef broth
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped (plus additional for garnish)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, finely shredded

Steps:

  • Rinse ribs and pat dry; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large, wide pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Add ribs, in batches, and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer, as cooked, to slow cooker.
  • Stir together tomatoes, broth, wine, parsley, cornstarch and tomato paste in a bowl; pour over ribs. Add bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook, 9 to 11 hours on LOW or 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 hours on HIGH.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but I loved this dish! The short ribs were so tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use mashed potatoes instead of polenta.
