Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef short ribs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup ketchup
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp (for garnish) chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Transfer the seared short ribs and sautéed onion and garlic to the crock pot.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and beef broth to create the ‘deviled’ sauce.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the short ribs in the crock pot, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter.

Step 9

Skim off any excess fat from the sauce in the crock pot and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the short ribs hot, spooned with some of the sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
