Main Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs beef ribs Make sure they’re looking top-notch!
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce Your favorite kind will do—it’s a judgment-free zone here!
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced Optional, but totally adds flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Because more flavor is always a good idea.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce A little umami goes a long way.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste I believe in seasoning generously!

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by patting your beef ribs dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the sliced onions at the bottom of your slow cooker, followed by the minced garlic.
  • Layer the beef ribs on top of the onions and garlic.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the barbeque sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the sauce over the ribs, making sure they’re nice and coated.

Cooking

  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Once the ribs are tender and fall-off-the-bone good, serve them up with some warm cornbread or coleslaw.

Notes

The beauty of slow cooking is in the time it takes for those flavors to meld. If you have leftovers, try using the beef ribs in tacos the next day. Don't worry if your barbecue sauce looks a little lumpy before cooking; it’ll be lick-your-plate good!
