Oh boy…these are simply amazing beef short ribs that are braised in the slow cooker. When they’re done they will be fall off the bone tender perfect with a hot bowl of rice or egg noodles.
I try and stock up when I see short ribs go on sale because they can be a bit pricy but oh they are so worth it. Even though there is a bone in them they actually have quite a bit of meat. This will serve 4 healthy portions, but if you do happen to have any left over they are even better the next day.
