Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth

Instructions

  • Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add seasoned ribs to the hot oil (bone side up first)and sear on each side for 1-2 minutes, until browned. (The ribs will not be cooked through.)
  • Remove and transfer ribs to a large crockpot.
  • To the same skillet, add onions, mushrooms, and tomato paste. Stir to coat the vegetables. Cook over medium heat until onions are tender (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Add garlic and cook for one more minute.
  • Increase the heat to high and pour in the beef broth, stirring often and scraping up the brown bits from the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring and scraping the sides as needed.
  • Pour over the ribs in the crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Or, cook on high for 3-5 hours.
  • The ribs are done cooking when they easily fall off the bone.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes.
