What Can I Make in a Crock Pot With Beef Ribs, Carrots, Onions, Potatoes

Go to the Recipe

Bone-in beef short ribs require long and slow cooking to tenderize them, making them a perfect candidate for the slow cooker.

Beef short ribs with vegetables is pure comfort food.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #NationalSlowCookerMonth. All opinions are my own.

The original recipe for these short ribs came from a former colleague. The first time I made it, it became an instant favorite with the family. Over the years, I've tweaked it a bit.

I don't know why, but I don't use my slow cooker, or crockpot, very often. But every winter, I pull it out to make this delicious and flavorful recipe.

My friend used country-style short ribs, or, in other words, boneless short ribs. Either will work in this recipe.

Boneless short ribs are not available at my grocer.

Prep everything but the potatoes the night before. They will brown.

I've never left potatoes in water overnight so I'd do them in the morning. But you can certainly cut up the onions and garlic.

The original recipe also had mushrooms but I chose to leave them out.

Slow-cooking for a long period of time leaves these short ribs and vegetable fork-tender delicious. They melt in your mouth, no knife is needed.

If you are pressed for time, you can cook this recipe on high for 4 to 5 hours, otherwise, 8 to 10 on low will work too.

They will be ready when you get home from work, which is always a nice feeling after a long day.

Ingredients

• 12 bone-in beef short ribs
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 10 russet potatoes, cut in half then quartered
• 20 uncooked baby carrots
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (32 ounce) carton low sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Slurry

• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet set medium-high heat, I like using cast iron. Add the ribs and cook, turning once, until browned, about 8 minutes.
2. Transfer the ribs to a slow cooker. Add the onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour the broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, 4–5 hours on high or 8–10 hours on low.
3. About 20 minutes before the cooking time is up, make the slurry. Combine the flour and water in a small bowl until smooth; stir in about 1⁄4 cup of the hot liquid from the slow cooker until blended. Stir the flour mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high, until the mixture simmers and thickens, about 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the parsley just before serving.

Notes

Cooking Time - 4 - 5 hours on high; 8 - 10 hours on low
