Ingredients
3 pounds beef short ribs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for keto)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Season the beef short ribs evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the short ribs in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
Place the seared short ribs on top of the onions and garlic in the crock pot.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the sauce mixture over the short ribs in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Once cooked, remove the short ribs and set aside.
Optional: Skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the crock pot.
Serve the short ribs hot with the sauce spooned over the top.
