Succulent tender meat that simply falls apart when you touch it gently with a fork will make anyone swoon with excitement knowing what’s next. And That first bite does not disappoint. It’s everything you hoped it would be and more.
This recipe is your fool proof way to get the most tender short ribs you’ve ever had! My family can’t get enough of these ribs, even my picky daughter who doesn’t like beef enjoys this because of how tender it is.
Seared to perfection then a few simple ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already, all placed in the slow cooker to do it’s thing for a few hours. Add some mashed cauliflower or riced cauliflower for the bed and dinner is served. Truly a comfort dish in any season but especially wonderful on a cold winter’s night!
I’ve only made this recipe using boneless short ribs but you can use bone-in if that’s all you can find. I’m sure either will work, they just need plenty of time to get tender.
Also it’s totally optional to add some carrots if your spouse is not into a low carb lifestyle, like mine is not. Just throw them in when cooking the onion and remaining ingredients.
