Ready in: 6 hours 40 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 8 beef bone-in short ribs (4 to 5 pounds)
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 2 cups red wine (chianti works well)
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste

Preparation method

Prep: 40 mins | Cook: 6 hours

1. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper, then sear in hot oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. This will take about 7 minutes; do it in batches so the ribs have plenty of room. Place in a 5 quart slow cooker.
2. Remove most of the fat from the skillet, leaving 1 tablespoon. Cook onion and garlic in remaining fat over medium heat for 4 minutes, then add tomatoes and wine. When the liquid boils, pour over ribs in the slow cooker.
3. Cook on LOW for 6 hours. Remove ribs and cover with foil on a plate.
4. Pour pan juices into a saucepan and take out any fat you can see on the surface. Bring to a boil over medium-high, and simmer to reduce to 1 cup. Add tomato paste, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, and serve over ribs.
