Prep Time
Preparing this dish only requires minimal effort. It will take you about 10 minutes of prep time to get all of the ingredients ready to be added to the crock pot. This includes cutting the vegetables, seasoning the meat and measuring out the liquids.
Cook Time
Once all the ingredients are in the crock pot, it’s time to let it do the work. Set your slow cooker to low heat and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking process is what gives the short ribs their tender and succulent texture.
Ingredients
For this braised short ribs crock pot recipe with red wine, you will need:
- 2 pounds of beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 cup of red wine
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Start by seasoning the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs to the skillet and brown on all sides. This should take about 8 minutes. Transfer the browned short ribs to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute. Add the red wine to the skillet and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the beef broth and tomato paste to the skillet and stir until combined. Pour the mixture over the short ribs in the crock pot.
Add the bay leaves and thyme to the crock pot. Gently stir everything in the crock pot to combine. Place the lid on the crock pot and set it to low heat. Let the short ribs cook for 6 to 8 hours.
After the short ribs are cooked, remove the lid and turn off the crock pot. Transfer the short ribs to a serving dish. Strain the liquid from the crock pot through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the vegetables. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. This will reduce the sauce and thicken it slightly.
Serve the short ribs with the sauce over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!

Notes
Make sure to brown the short ribs on all sides before adding them to the crock pot. This will give them a nice flavor and will also help to keep them from getting too tough.

Recipe Tips
For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce in the crock pot. You can also add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the sauce for a slightly sweeter flavor.
If you don’t have red wine on hand, you can substitute it with beef broth. This will still result in a delicious dish, but the flavor won’t be as deep.
For a vegetarian version of this dish, replace the short ribs with extra-firm tofu. Follow the same instructions, but reduce the cooking time to 4 to 6 hours.
