A delightful recipe for slow-cooked beef ribs with a tangy and flavorful sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top bag.
Shake the bag well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the beef ribs to the bag in batches and shake to coat them evenly.
Coating the ribs evenly helps to create a nice crust when seared.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ribs on all sides.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the ribs to get a good sear.
Transfer the browned ribs to a slow cooker.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer for even cooking.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion until softened.
Use the same skillet to retain the flavors from the ribs.
Combine the beef broth, apple cider, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, chili sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and chili powder in a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients well to ensure a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce over the ribs in the slow cooker.
Make sure the ribs are fully covered with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 9-10 hours or until the meat is tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Serve the ribs with the sauce drizzled over them and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
