Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 pounds of beef short ribs
- 2 tablespooons minced garlic (either fresh or from a jar, it’s up to you!)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar or red wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbs liquid smoke
- 1 tbs soy sauce
- A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbs Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 to 1 cup BBQ sauce (however much you need to coat the ribs)
Instructions
- Take the salt, pepper, and red paper flakes and mix them in a small bowl. Then rub them into the ribs and put the ribs in the slow cooker. Feel free to pour any left over seasonings on top.
- Cover with minced garlic.
- In a separate bowl, mix the water, red wine vinegar (or red wine), Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and Dijon mustard. Mix together until thoroughly combined and then pour over the ribs in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Once the ribs are done, preheat oven to 375. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet. (You can cut off the fat if you want to save calories, or leave it, depending on your preference.) Coat the ribs on all sides with BBQ sauce.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (until the sauce caramelizes and sticks to the ribs.)
- Your ribs are ready to be served!

These ribs serve well with rice or mac & cheese, a simple Caesar salad, and a piece of Texas toast.
