Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, light brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Rub this spice rub mixture all over both sides of the ribs.

Step 3

Place the ribs in the slow cooker by standing them up against the wall of the stoneware pot, thicker side down and meaty side against the pot.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of BBQ sauce over the ribs. Cover and cook for 6-8 hrs on low (7 hours worked perfect for me).

Step 5

Once done, you are ready to shred the meat. The meat will be falling off the bone. Remove the fat and membrane.

Step 6

Lightly spread ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the meat. Serve immediately.
