Ingredients: – Gather beef short ribs, balsamic vinegar, garlic, onions, carrots, celery, and fresh herbs for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
Step:1 Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Brown them in a hot skillet to develop a rich, savory crust.
Step:2 In the same skillet, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until tender. This step builds a flavorful base for the stew.
Step:3 Transfer browned ribs and sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker. Layer them for even cooking and optimal flavor infusion.
Step:4 Pour balsamic vinegar over the ribs. Add beef broth and a touch of tomato paste to create a rich, tangy sauce.
Step:5 Add fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to balance the tangy and savory flavors.
Step:6 Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Slow cooking ensures tender meat and deep flavor.
Step:7 If desired, remove ribs once cooked and reduce sauce on the stove for a thicker consistency. Spoon over the ribs before serving.
ENJOY! Serve ribs with the reduced sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes or polenta for a complete, satisfying meal.
