Description

Slow cooker ranch short ribs are coated in ranch dressing seasoning mix and slow cooked with onions, red wine, and mustard until irresistibly tender.

Ingredients

4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
1 teaspoon Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, quartered
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1 Place short ribs in a resealable plastic bag (such as Glad); sprinkle with ranch dressing seasoning mix. Seal bag; toss until short ribs are evenly coated.
2 Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven until very hot but not smoking. Add short ribs; brown on all sides (you may need to do this in two batches), 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Transfer to a slow cooker.
3 Nestle onions around short ribs. Combine red wine and mustard; pour over top. Cover the slow cooker.
4 Cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours. Skim as much grease as possible from top; season with salt and black pepper.
