Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Season the short ribs on all sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ribs in batches until they have a deep color on all sides, then set them aside.
  • Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange the browned ribs on top.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, bourbon, beef broth, and soy sauce until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the ribs.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the meat is very tender and pulls easily from the bone.
  • Remove the ribs to a serving platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

If the sauce is too thin at the end, pour it into a skillet and simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the glaze.
