Step 1: Prepare the Ribs. If you’d like to enhance the flavor of your Easy Dump Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs, sear the beef short ribs in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds a delicious crust and depth to the flavor. Once done, transfer the ribs to your slow cooker.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients. In the slow cooker, layer the seared beef short ribs along with 2 cups of beef broth, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 large sliced onion. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the ribs are nicely coated in the mixture for maximum flavor.

Step 3: Cook the Ribs. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking, as this may affect the cooking time and temperature. You’ll know the Easy Dump Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs are ready when the meat becomes fork-tender, releasing delicious aromas throughout your kitchen.

Step 4: Check Doneness. Once the cooking time has elapsed, carefully check the doneness of the ribs. The meat should be incredibly tender and easy to pull apart with a fork. If necessary, season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to meld together before serving.
