INGREDIENTS:

• 3-4 pounds beef ribs (back ribs or short ribs)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)

• 1/2 cup beef broth

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 onion, sliced ​​

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional to give it more smokiness)

• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare the ribs:

If your butcher has not already done so, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure they are

tender. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper.

Brown the ribs (optional):

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ribs in batches and sear on all sides until well

browned. This step adds depth to the flavor, but you can skip it if you’re short on time.Prepare BBQ Sauce

Mixture:

In a bowl, combine barbecue sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, smoked paprika,

chili powder and dried thyme. Mix well.

Layer the slow cooker:

Place the sliced ​​onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seared ribs on top of the onions. Pour the

barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.Cook:

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until ribs are tender and meat

falls easily from bone.

Finish (optional):

For a caramelized finish, place the cooked ribs on a baking sheet, brush with some of the sauce from the slow

cooker, and roast in the oven for a few minutes until blistered and lightly charred.

Servings:

Serve the ribs hot, topped with additional barbecue sauce and your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread or

baked beans.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS:

Choosing ribs: Look for ribs with a lot of meat and not too much fat. The posterior ribs are slimmer while the ribs

are stronger.Removing the Membrane: Removing the membrane on the back of the ribs helps tenderize the meat

and allow the flavors to penetrate better.

Layers: Placing onions in the bottom of the slow cooker adds flavor to the ribs and prevents them from sticking.

Grilling : The optional grilling step at the end provides nice texture and flavor, but is not necessary if you prefer to

keep the cooking process simpler.
