Print Recipe

Slow-cooked beef short ribs simmered in a rich, savory sauce for a hearty and comforting meal. Perfect for busy days or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer them to the crockpot.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs in the crockpot. Add the sautéed onions and garlic on top. If using rosemary, tuck the sprigs into the sauce.
  6. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours) until the ribs are tender and easily pulled apart.
  7. Optional: Remove the ribs after cooking and transfer the liquid to a pan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced for a thicker sauce.
  8. Serve the ribs hot, spooning generous amounts of sauce over the top.

Notes

[‘Searing the ribs before slow cooking locks in flavor and creates a beautiful crust.’, ‘Cooking on low heat yields the most tender ribs.’, ‘Taste the sauce before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the crockpot to ensure even cooking.’]
