Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs

• 13 cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 2- 1/2 pounds Beef Short Ribs (I Trimmed The Excess Fat Off Of The Ribs)
• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1 whole Onion, Chopped
• 3/4 cups Red Wine
• 1/4 cups Red Wine Vinegar
• 3/4 cups Apple Cider
• 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
• 13 cups Chili Sauce
• 1/2 cups Ketchup
• 3/4 cups Beef Broth
• 1/4 cups Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/4 cups Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped

1. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large sealable bag.
2. Shake to combine.
3. Add the short ribs and toss with the flour.
4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
5. Shake off any excess flour and add the ribs to the pan.
6. Brown the ribs on all sides.
7. Once browned, transfer to a slow cooker that has been coated with cooking spray.
8. Add the chopped onions to the skillet and saute until they begin to soften.
9. Be sure to scrape up any of the brown bits at the bottom of the pan.
10. Add the remaining ingredients into the skillet with the onions and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
11. Taste the sauce and adjust per your preference.
12. Pour the sauce over the ribs.
13. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours.
14. If you dont have that much time you can cook them on high heat for 2 hours and then reduce to low for 4 hours.
15. Before you serve the ribs skim off the clear fat at the top of the crock pot using a large spoon.
16. You may get some of the sauce with it, but it is worth it.
17. Get as much of the fat as possible.
18. Serve over mashed potatoes or celery root puree!
