"These slow cooker short ribs are fork tender and perfect for serving over fluffy mashed potatoes.

Rich and savory these slow cooker short ribs are a classic, home-cooked dinner for fall and winter."

Ingredients
- 8 Beef Short Ribs

- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 Carrot, chopped
- 1 stalk Celery, chopped
- 1 Apple, chopped

- 3 cups Chicken Broth
-
Heat oil in large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Season the short ribs liberally with salt and pepper. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown on both sides. Cook in two batches so as not to crowd the pan.

Drain the oil but do not wipe the pan clean. You want the browned bits left in for flavor.

It is so refreshing to see a ribs recipe that isn't smothered in a bottle of barbeque sauce! It is well worth the extra steps of browning the meat and creating the wine sauce due to the great rich flavor that is built up. This is a very classic preparation, with the slow cooker doing the braising. This is a bit healthier than BBQ ribs too, since you aren't adding a bunch of extra sugar and salt to the meat.
