Balsamic Short Ribs
Ingredients
3-4 pounds short ribs, bone in
Salt and pepper
4 cups beef broth
1 – 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/2 of a sweet onion
3 carrots, peeled, cut into large chunks
3 bay leaves
6 garlic cloves
1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. In batches, brown the short ribs on all sides then transfer to a large slow cooker.
Add the broth, tomato sauce, onion, carrots, bay leaves, garlic, balsamic vinegar, basil, thyme and oregano.
Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or until meat is tender. If the meat is not tender you need to continue slow cooking.
Remove the short ribs and garnish with fresh parsley, a drizzle of balsamic and serve over gnocchi with brussels sprouts.
