For richer flavor, sear the short ribs in a hot pan before placing them in the slow cooker. This adds a delicious caramelized crust to the meat. Consider adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the slow cooker for added depth of flavor. The strained broth can be reduced on the stovetop for a more intense au jus.
