Winter Short Ribs in the Crock Pot
5-6 pounds of bone-in-beef short ribs
extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
2 jars Goodies Barbecue Sauce
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Season ribs with salt and pepper. Coat a large skillet with olive oil. Brown both sides of the ribs for 2 minutes on medium high heat (don��t over crowd, cook in batches if necessary). Remove ribs and place in crock pot. Saute chopped vegetables on medium heat until light golden brown. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Pour vegetable mixture over ribs in crock pot adding Goodies Barbecue Sauce and liquid smoke. Cook on low for 8 hours. Ribs should be tender but not falling off bones.
*Tip: The prep work, browning of the ribs etc can all be done the evening before. The next morning, toss it in the crock pot and head off to work!
