Slow Cooker Beef Ribs
Slow Cooker Beef Ribs are a great meal to serve your guests. The flavour is amazing and they are so easy to make. Your guests will seriously be impressed!
Beef ribs is one of my favourite dinners ever! It is such a lovely warming meal that is perfect to have when the weather is cold. The trick is to cook it in the slow cooker or crock pot for 6-7 hours to ensure that the meat is falling off the bone.
My favourite way to serve is with potato mash (either sweet potato or white potato) and green vegetables.
I also love to make Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks or even Slow Cooker Osso Buco during the cooler months.

TIPS AND FAQS
What to serve with – you can serve these slow cooker ribs with your favourite greens and potato mash (sweet potato or white potato).
Time to cook – I highly recommend cooking on low heat for 6-7 hours. The longer you allow it to cook, the softer the meat will be.
Why searing is important – browning the ribs in pan first will ensure that you seal in the flavor.
How to store leftovers – Leftover ribs will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure you keep in a sealed container. When reheating in the microwave, use a microwave safe dish and heat on 50% power.
