Ingredients

Crockpot Beef Short Ribs

  • 3 lbs Bone-In Beef Short Ribs
  • 3 Cups Baby Carrots
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms Sliced
  • 2 Cups Beef Broth
  • 1 Cup Red Wine (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 8 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Minced
  • Salt (To Taste)
  • Pepper (To Taste)

Instructions

  1. Season and Brown the Ribs: Season all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Brown each piece in a skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot: Place all ingredients in a large crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  3. Serve: Remove the ribs and vegetables, set aside. Discard herbs. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes and drizzle with the cooking liquid.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix ½ cup water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Add to the cooking liquid in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk until slightly thickened.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the wine with additional beef broth or water.
