- 4 pounds beef short ribs (about 8 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
- Prep the meat: Pat those ribs dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Get a good sear: Heat up a large skillet until hot, and sear each side of the ribs for about 60 seconds until browned.
- Mix your magic potion: In your slow cooker, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Arrange your ribs: Place seared ribs into the liquid, bone side up if bone-in, and add the rosemary on top.
- Walk away and let magic happen: Put the lid on, set your slow cooker to low, and cook for 6-8 hours.
Notes
- Choosing high-quality ribs will make or break your dish.
- Don’t throw away the leftover cooking liquid; use it for gravy or a reduction.
- Leftover ribs taste even better the next day after the flavors meld overnight.
- For slow cookers running cool, start on high for the first hour, then switch to low.
