Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare a slow cooker crock with cooking spray. (1 minute)

02

Step
10 mins

Spread celery, carrots, onion, and garlic in the bottom of the crock. Season short ribs with salt and pepper; place atop the vegetables. Pour beef consommé and water into the crock. (10 minutes)

03

Step
6 hrs 30 mins

Cook on High until the ribs are fork-tender, 5 to 7 hours.

04

Step
10 mins

Remove the ribs from the slow cooker to a platter. Strain the broth and discard the vegetables. (5 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Strip meat from the bones of the ribs. Discard bones and transfer meat to a bowl. Shred meat with 2 forks and serve with strained broth. (10 minutes)

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.
