When you crave something warm and rich, this is the best dish. I love how easy it is to do and how amazing it is in the end. It is almost foolproof.
I used to not want to make beef ribs at home because it’s something I enjoy a lot in restaurants. I thought there was no way I could make them so good at home. I’m glad I tried because I was so wrong.
These slow-cooking beef ribs are much easier than I imagine. It turns out that it is not so difficult to get short ribs that fall off the bone at home. In fact, the sauce that results from this dish is so incredibly good that I even surprised myself.
The slow cooking process of these short ribs creates the most amazing red wine sauce. You’ll be impressed with your cooking skills once you’ve done this.
You probably already know that short ribs are one of the best cuts of meat for stewing. Meat can become incredibly tender, and the marbling helps keep it moist and succulent.
On a side note, if you’re looking for high-quality ground beef and beef, check out Butcher Box. It is a subscription meat box with 100% grass-fed beef, organic free-range chicken, traditional breed pork and wild Alaskan salmon. All meat is raised humanely and is never given antibiotics or added hormones. See our full review of the service.
I am very impressed with the quality of ButcherBox meat and will not be buying meat at the grocery store again. In addition, it is much easier to receive it at your door.
Keep in mind when buying your short ribs that you don’t want to get short Asian or Korean ribs, which have a little less meat. The beef rib cut you want are thick pieces of meat on a short bone, like the picture below.
You’ll want about 1.5 pounds for 2 people, because the bone is very heavy. So, 3 pounds to serve 4 people. I like to use my tasty dry seasoning on these short ribs instead of just salt and pepper.
Add extra depth of flavor. If you do not want to mix a quick batch of dry rubbing, salt and pepper will do.

How to Make Short Slow Cooking Beef Ribs
You start this recipe by scorching the ribs everywhere over high heat, to block the flavor and start the maillard reaction that will infuse
an amazing flavor into the sauce.
Next, sauté the vegetables in the same pan, to start creating a depth of flavor. Sauté the vegetables for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Add the tomato sauce, meat broth and red wine in the pan and beat all the delicious bottom of the pan.
Now you can combine it all in the slow cooker (or Dutch oven, if you’re putting it in the oven).
Put the meat,
sauce and
bay leaves. Simmer for 6-8 hours. After 6 hours, you can try cooking meat with a fork. If it falls apart easily, it’s done.
Strain the sauce through a strainer/sieve to remove the vegetable chunks from cooking. This will give you a good thick frosting to pour over the meat and potatoes.
If the sauce is not thick enough for your liking, you can put it back in a saucepan to medium and reduce it to the thickness you want
. What to serve with
short ribs
I like to serve this with mashed potatoes or polenta. Both have the ability to absorb the amazing sauce, which you’ll want to put right in your mouth.
If
you’re looking for a vegetarian accompaniment, try roasted asparagus with parmesan, golden beet salad with toasted spice vinaigrette, or roasted green beans and mushrooms
.
If you have leftover sauce, it goes great with Steak Frites, Poutine or even French sauces
