Braised Short Ribs

[calzephyr]

Sunterra had short ribs on sale last week, so I order 1kg with no idea how much that would be, exactly. I had never cooked that cut of meat before, but 1kg was just the right size for the slow cooker and included four short ribs.

I found recipe online to try. It's a great starter recipe and once you make it, you can try adding a few other things like mushrooms or spices. I used rosemary sprigs and fresh garlic and topped the short ribs with butter since that worked so well for roasts. The meat falls off the bone and you can make the leftover liquid into gravy, num! I would say one short rib per person is enough.

Ingredients

4 pounds boneless or bone-in beef short ribs about 8 short ribs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

1. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear the short ribs on each of the 4 sides for about 60 seconds per side.

2. Pour the beef broth, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder into a slow cooker and stir together. Place the short ribs into the liquid in the slow cooker.

3. Place rosemary sprig on top of meat and put the lid on. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until meat is tender.
