Slow Cooker Italian Short Ribs
These Slow Cooker Italian Short Ribs are juicy, tender and full of flavor. The shorts ribs cook low and slow in the crockpot creating fall apart tender beef that pairs nicely with the Italian flavors and a creamy risotto. You will love this easy, comforting meal!
One of my favorite ways to cook short ribs is in the crockpot. I love that they cook while I go about my day and how tender them become after cooking all day.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN THIS CROCKPOT SHORT RIB RECIPE?
SHORT RIBS: For this recipe you can use bone in or boneless short ribs. I tend to like the boneless short ribs because I can get more meat out of those but either work great.
DICED TOMATOES AND SAUCE: The short ribs cook in an Italian style sauce using diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste.
ONION & GARLIC: The sweet onion and garlic add flavor to the sauce but you don’t have to include them. Another option is using shallot in place of the onion.
