These short ribs cooked in a slow cooker are soft, flavorful, and very simple to make. The savory sauce gives the beef more flavor and goes well with its richness.

Place short ribs in a slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over them

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the meat is tender

Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the slow cooker and set aside
