Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the bone-in beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker. Place the seared ribs on top of the vegetables.

  3. 5

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and optional red wine. Add bay leaves, thyme, and paprika.

  4. 6

    Cook the Ribs

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the slow cooker. Discard the bay leaves. Serve the ribs with the vegetables and a ladle of the cooking liquid.
