Ingredients
 

  • 2 ½-3 ½ lb beef short ribs
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • ¾ cup chopped celery
  • ¾ cup chopped carrots
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 30 oz marinara sauce
  • Pappardelle or Veggie Noodles
  • Garnish: parmesan cheese and fresh basil

Instructions

  • Season the beef ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet on high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once the pan is hot and oil starts to smoke, sear the beef ribs on all sides 1-2 minutes each. Transfer the ribs to a Crockpot. 
  • In the same skillet on medium-high heat, add remaining oil and celery, carrots and onion. Scrape up any solid bits from the bottom of the pan and sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir, cooking 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vegetable mixture into the Crockpot on top of the short ribs. 
  • Pour marinara sauce on top. Mix to coat the short ribs. Cover and cook for 7-8 hours on low. 
  • Before serving, remove short ribs and shred meat, discarding bones and any excess fat. Place shredded meat back into the Crockpot and mix to combine. Serve over prepared noodles.
