Slow-Cooked Beef Short Ribs image

When tart apple and sweet carrot cook down slowly with smoked paprika they make a savory jam for these fall-off-the-bone tender ribs.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large tart apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
4 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, cut into wedges
3 1/2 pounds bone-in beef short ribs or oxtails
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Put the apples and carrots in a large slow cooker; top with the onion wedges and then the beef.
  • Combine the applesauce, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, mustard, and salt. Pour the mixture over the beef. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Transfer the meat, apples, and vegetables to a serving platter. Pour the juices into a saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cornstarch with the apple cider, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Pour into the simmering juices, bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute or until the sauce becomes thick and clear. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve.
