Slow Cooker Red Wine Short Ribs

By allie5jones

Ingredients

• 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 6 small carrots, peeled and cut in half crosswise
• 2 small parsnips, peeled and cut in quarters crosswise
• 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed
• 1 8.5-ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut in half lengthwise
• 1 small bunch sage
• 5 pounds short ribs
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1 bottle red wine
• 1 loaf crusty bread

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the onions, garlic, carrots, parsnips, mushrooms, tomatoes, and sage. Season the short ribs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and nestle them among the vegetables. Add the wine. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until the meat is tender and falls from the bones, 8-9 hours. Using a large spoon, skim off the excess fat and discard. Divide the ribs and vegetables among individual bowls and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with the crusty bread.
