Description

Tender beef short ribs slow-cooked in a sweet and tangy cranberry glaze, perfect for cozy evenings and special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the beef: Generously sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef short ribs, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a slow cooker, blend the cranberry sauce, beef broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the ribs: Gently nestle the seasoned short ribs into the sauce, ensuring they are completely submerged.
  4. Slow cook to perfection: Cover and let cook on low for 6-8 hours until fork-tender.
  5. Serve with style: Dish out the ribs, drizzling the rich glaze over them and garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tips: Sauce can be prepared the night before. For oven preparation, cover in a Dutch oven at 300°F for 2.5-3 hours.
