How to Make Crock Pot Short Ribs And Cabbage Stew

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
  2. Place 2 cups all-purpose flour in a large plastic bag. Add 3 lbs bone-in short ribs, one at a time, shaking to coat evenly.
  3. Brown ribs on all sides in the hot skillet. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue browning until deeply caramelized. Remove ribs from skillet and set aside on paper towels.
  4. Add 1 cup beef broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  6. In your slow cooker, layer 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 lb carrots (peeled and chopped), 1 large onion (chopped), and 1 medium head of green cabbage (shredded). Pour the tomato mixture over the vegetables.
  7. Place the browned short ribs on top of the vegetables, meat side down. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender.
  8. To serve, place a short rib in the bottom of each of 6 bowls. Ladle the stew over the ribs and serve immediately. For an extra creamy texture, mash some of the potatoes into the stew before serving.
