Ingredients

• 4 pounds Bone-in beef short ribs
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Bay leaves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a crock pot, add the chopped carrots and celery as the base layer. Place the seared short ribs on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Pour the mixture over the short ribs.

Step 6

Add the sautéed onions and garlic from the skillet to the crock pot. Nestle the bay leaves and rosemary sprigs into the liquid.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the short ribs are fork-tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and rosemary sprigs. Serve the short ribs with their sauce and vegetables spooned over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
