Slow-Cooker Beef Short Ribs

I had picked up a beautiful piece of grass-fed beef short ribs from the Farmers’ Market a few weeks ago, and wanted to make something simple with it. So I found this recipe and thawed them out. This recipe took a bit of prep beforehand, which I usually try to avoid when I’m using the slow cooker, but this time around it seemed necessary. This turned out to be a superb meal! WOW! The flavor was nice and rich, and the meat was ridiculously tender. The short ribs I used had bones in them, but the meat melted right off. I had a piece that was around 1.5 pounds, so I used that but didn’t cut the sauce recipe down. I didn’t want it to burn while it was cooking all day. I served this with another loaf of No-Knead Crusty White Bread that I sprinkled a little vegetable ash salt, and another batch of Yellow Tomato, Avocado and Cucumber Salad with Fig Balsamic. It was a fantastic meal, and a great way to celebrate FRIDAY!
