Hello everyone, today we are going to be in the crock pot. We are going to make easy beef short ribs
This is a very family friendly recipe. They are so tender, they just fall right off the bone
Look at that delicious sauce. It is just bursting full of flavor
If you want to know how to make these, y'all come along. First thing we're going to do is let's talk about these bone-in short ribs
Now, I picked these up from Aldi, and this whole package was $15.60
There's 2.14 pounds in here, and it was $7 a pound. Now, to make those delicious beef short ribs in the crock pot work that delicious
we need to give them flavor, layers of flavor. Now this is just 15 minute prep work to get these ribs into the crock pot
Alright, that's what we're looking at right here. I'm going to take them out of the packaging
We're going to start with that first layer of flavor. That's a little one
That's for your little one, if you have a little one. There we go. Now first thing we're going to do is take some salt
and we're going to crack it across the top. Nice layer of salt. There we go
And some black pepper. Now, we can take a fork, just kind of press it in
Now, when we put this into our pan of hot oil, we'll do that upside down with the seasoning side down
and then we'll season the other side of that so we don't lose a lot of the seasoning on the board here
So let's move over to our pan. Now we're going to put the heat onto a medium high on our burner
I'm using a large deep pot. That way when I'm cooking the short ribs, giving them a sear
the oil from it will not come out and splatter me too much because we've got a big thick barrier here
We're going to start heating up our pan and we're going to add some oil
About two tablespoons of cooking oil. We're going to sear the beef short ribs and it'll give it such a depth of flavor
Give it a nice color to it and a nice crispness to the edges of our short ribs
You want to make sure you heat that up and get it nice and hot Now if you short on time you can skip this step and then just put your short ribs season with salt and pepper into your crock pot and then go from there
But why would you not go that extra mile for a few minutes and make it really delicious
Because that will definitely give you some flavor. Now, your oil should start shimmering, and that will let you know that it's hot enough
for you to start adding the beef short ribs in. And remember, we're going to do it seasoning side down
And you want to hear a big sizzle when you put that in there
Seasoning side, place it down. Ah, you hear that sizzle? You put it in there and leave it alone
Don't move it around or anything or you'll break up that crust that it's going to form
It's going to take about three to four minutes on each side
You want to do this right. While they're sitting there, we're going to take our salt, go across the top, and some black pepper
Now, I'm just crushing some up in there, some whole peppercorns here, getting really good and coated
I'm just going to take my fork, press down on it, just to hold it on there until we flip it over
Y'all see the bone right there? Alright, let's take a look Kind of peek at it
Oh, look at that Once we do the back side, then we'll do the sides of it
While the short ribs are browning up We're going to go ahead and multitask and get some onions done here
And we're just going to roughly chop these Because they'll be in the crock pot for a while
We don't want to lose them in there They'll melt away if you dice them up
So give them a nice little chunk there. These are going to make a nice bed for the beef short ribs to sit on
while they're doing their thing in the clock pot. I put a red onion in here too, giving it a nice contrast of color
because I needed some more onion than what I had. I'm going to pull out some of these garlic cloves
and we'll just roughly chop those because this is a very hearty dish
We got three big ones there That should be plenty That way we can distribute this
Amongst the onions Alright Let's grab our crock pot Look at these short ribs Nice and brown Y this is on all sides Look at that Yeah Make sure you turn off your heat and let start preparing our crock pot
We'll place the ribs in there on top of the onions and garlic, and then we're going to make that delicious sauce
These will seep in and simmer in all day, or half a day, whatever you've got time for
Take a cooking spray. Make sure you spray your crock pot. Now I'm using all natural oil
This is an olive oil or you can use an avocado oil. I got bottles for each, so I'll just grab one
This will prevent the ribs from sticking down there. And then we're going to go ahead and add those onions and the garlic to the bottom of the crock pot
Can you see in there? We'll mix that around, get the garlic stirred in there
Make a nice little bed down there. If you like onions, that's going to be good
these look so good do you all see that bone right there yeah good stuff don't forget the little one
that they gave us that might be mine all right those look really good let's make that sauce
I'm going to take some of that oil out of the pan I'm going to take some paper towels go in
and whatever absorbs up and we'll leave the rest because that's going to be flavor
to the pan. We're going to add in two tablespoons of soy sauce. We're going to add in one can of
tomato sauce, eight ounces, one tablespoon of Worcestershire. Just pour one across the top
One cup beef broth. Give a nice estimate there. teaspoon of so of thyme i'm gonna add some smokiness with the smoked paprika
oh get it on in there all right let's wake up the flavors with some garlic powder
onion powder some black pepper we're gonna get a whisk we'll blend this all together
I just want a little taste Oh yeah I know somebody will be happy
Y'all know who he is, Thomas I'm down here early this morning
Putting this one together So, he's still asleep Alright, let's pour this all over
Our beef short ribs in the crock pot Oh, make sure you hit those ribs with it
Get them nice and coated Ooh okay All right we going to place the lid on
Now, you can cook this on low for about eight to ten hours
or you can cook this on high for about four to six hours
