Crockpot Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Instructions
Prepare the Ribs
Pat the beef short ribs dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Sear the Ribs (Optional for Extra Flavor)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for about 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the ribs to the crockpot.
Cook the Aromatics
In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Add them to the crockpot.
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, mix beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and thyme. Pour the mixture over the ribs in the crockpot.
Add Vegetables
Add the carrots, celery, and bay leaves to the crockpot.
Cook the Ribs
Cover and cook on low heat for 8–10 hours or on high heat for 5–6 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat falls off the bone.
Serve
Remove the ribs and vegetables from the crockpot. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce. Serve the ribs with the sauce poured over the top.
Tips
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
You can thicken the sauce by simmering it on the stovetop and adding a slurry made of 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water.
Enjoy your flavorful, fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs! 😊
