Slow-Cooker Braised Beef Short Ribs

A couple of weeks ago, I made Braised Beef Short Ribs from Ad Hoc at Home for supper club. It was a terrific dish, but it took several hours to prepare the short ribs and to chop all the vegetables. Because of the huge time investment, I decided that wouldn't be a good recipe to post. However it did introduce me to boneless beef short ribs, which are available at Costco. I have made beef short ribs many times, because they are pretty cheap and benefit from long, slow cooking. However, boneless ones were new to me. For dinner tonight, I decided to cook the short ribs in the slow cooker to see if I could re-create the melting tenderness that I achieved with the more intensive recipe. And it was a success! I cooked the meat with hoisin sauce and vegetables. After a day in the slow cooker, the meat was fall-apart tender and seasoned perfectly. We ate them with lefttover Risotto and Roasted Zucchini. Enjoy!
