If you’re looking for a delicious and hassle-free way to enjoy tender, succulent beef, then you’ve come to the right place. So, get ready to tantalize your taste buds and impress your friends and family with this foolproof recipe that will have everyone asking for seconds. Let’s get started!

Gathering Herbs, Mushrooms, and Vegetables

Now that we’re ready to embark on our culinary journey, it’s time to gather the essential ingredients for our Beef Short Ribs recipe. We’ll be needing a variety of herbs, mushrooms, and vegetables to infuse our dish with incredible flavors. Let’s start by selecting some fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme.

These aromatic herbs will add a delightful earthiness to our beef short ribs. Next, we’ll need some mushrooms to enhance the richness of our dish. You can choose your favorite variety, whether it’s cremini, shiitake, or portobello.

The mushrooms will provide a savory depth to the overall flavor profile.

Lastly, we’ll gather some vegetables to complement our succulent beef. Carrots, onions, fennel, celery, and garlic are must-haves for their natural sweetness and ability to create a robust base for our slow-cooked masterpiece.

So, grab your shopping list and head to the market to get these fantastic ingredients. Once you have everything ready, we can move on to the next step of our tantalizing recipe!

Tenderizing the Bone-In Beef Short Ribs

Now that we have gathered all the essential ingredients, it’s time to dive into the slow cooking process and transform our bone-in beef short ribs into fall-off-the-bone goodness. The secret to achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture lies in the low and slow cooking method.

We’ll be using our trusty slow cooker to infuse the flavors and tenderize the meat to perfection. First, we’ll sear the beef short ribs in a hot skillet to lock in those savory juices and create a beautifully caramelized crust. This step will add depth and richness to the final dish.

Once the short ribs are seared, we’ll transfer them to the slow cooker along with the herbs, mushrooms, and vegetables we prepared earlier. The slow cooker will work its magic over several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become incredibly tender.

As the short ribs cook, your kitchen will be filled with an irresistible aroma that will make your mouth water in anticipation. You can set the slow cooker on low heat and let it work its magic while you go about your day. When the cooking time is up, you’ll be rewarded with fork-tender beef short ribs that are bursting with flavor.

The long, slow cooking process ensures that every bite is infused with aromatic herbs, earthy mushrooms, and sweet vegetables. So sit back, relax, and let the slow cooker do its thing. In the next part of our recipe, we’ll move on to the exciting moment of serving and enjoying these delicious slow-cooked beef short ribs.

Easy Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds (2.4 kg) bone-in beef short ribs
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) ground porcini mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
  • olive oil
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 large yellow onions, peeled and chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 cups (500 ml) dry red wine
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups (750 ml) low-sodium fat-free chicken stock
  • Bouquet Garni ( 1 bay leaf, 6 thyme sprigs, 6 parsley sprigs, and 1 small rosemary sprig, tied together with kitchen twine)

Method

Step 1

Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add beef short ribs and boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the dried thyme, ground porcini mushrooms, and all-purpose flour. Mix well.

Step 3

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Dredge boiled beef short ribs with porcine mixture. Working in batches, brown them on all sides, for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Pour off most of the fat from the pan. Add the celery, onions, carrots, and fennel. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, for about 7-10 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is very fragrant, for further 3 minutes. Remove cooked vegetables from the pan and transfer to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Pour dry red wine and tomato paste into the pan. Stir together, using a wooden spoon to break up the tomato paste, scraping the pan to gather the browned bits Transfer the tomato mixture to the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cover slow cooker and cook on low-heat setting for 10 hours or until ribs are tender.

Step 7

Turn off the slow cooker and open the lid. Remove cooked ribs from the cooker and transfer them to a serving plate. Wrap with aluminum foil and keep warm.

Step 8

Pour the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Discard cooked vegetables and bouquet garni. Skim fat off the liquid. Increase heat to high and cook until liquid is thick, for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the sauce over the ribs. Serve beef short ribs with cooked potatoes or rice.
