Description
Prep these in just a few minutes, then let your crockpot do the rest! Slow cooker beef country style ribs are incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 lbs. beef country style ribs
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce (divided)
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Step: Lightly coat the bottom of the slow cooker crock with cooking spray. Cut the onion into thick wedges and add to the slow cooker, then lay the ribs on top.
- Step: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, black pepper, salt, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the ribs.
- Step: Whisk the liquid smoke into 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and pour over the other ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Step: Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours (HIGH 4 to 5 hours), until the ribs are tender, but not quite falling apart.
- Step: Once the ribs are done, preheat the broiler. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and discard the cooking liquid.
- Step: Baste the remaining barbecue sauce over the ribs, then broil for about 5 minutes, watching carefully, until the ribs are caramelized.
Notes
Make your own spice rub with pantry spices or use a quality pre-mixed BBQ rub. Likewise, use a bottled barbecue sauce for convenience or make a batch of homemade BBQ sauce and use the extra for serving tableside.
