Enjoy tender beef short ribs cooked in a flavorful sauce, served over a bed of noodles for a comforting meal.
Preheat your broiler and place the beef short ribs on a broiler pan.
Broiling the ribs first helps to render some fat and adds a nice caramelized flavor.
Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes on each side until browned.
Keep an eye on the ribs to prevent over-browning.
Transfer the browned ribs to the slow cooker.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer for even cooking.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until golden.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the onion.
Add the ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir until combined and heated through.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
Pour the sauce over the ribs in the slow cooker.
Ensure the ribs are well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
Salt the water for added flavor to the noodles.
Serve the ribs over the cooked noodles, spooning the sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
