Description

This Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs recipe delivers tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs infused with a rich, savory sauce made from molasses, tomato sauce, and spices.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs beef short ribs, 2 large ribs per package
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, and flour. Dredge each short rib thoroughly in this mixture.
