👉Ingredients:

◾️3 lbs beef short ribs

◾️Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

◾️2 tablespoons olive oil

◾️1 large onion, chopped

◾️4 garlic cloves, minced

◾️2 cups beef broth

◾️1 cup red wine (or use more beef broth instead)

◾️¼ cup soy sauce

◾️¼ cup brown sugar

◾️2 tablespoons tomato paste

◾️2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

◾️1 teaspoon dried rosemary

◾️1 teaspoon dried thyme

◾️2 bay leaves

◾️1 cup chopped carrots

◾️1 cup chopped celery

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Season & Sear:

Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Transfer to the crockpot.

✅️2. Sauté Aromatics:

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened (about 2–3 minutes), then stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute.

✅️3. Make the Sauce:

Pour in the beef broth, wine (or more broth), soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves.

✅️4. Assemble in Crockpot:

Pour the sauce and sautéed veggies over the ribs. Add the chopped carrots and celery on top.

✅️5. Slow Cook:

Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.

✅️6. Serve:

Carefully remove the ribs from the crockpot and discard the bay leaves. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread. Enjoy every bite! 😋❤️
