Preparation Steps

• Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs on all sides until browned.
• Place seared short ribs in the slow cooker.
• In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
• Pour in beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme.
• Pour the sauce over the short ribs in the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours, or until the short ribs are very tender.
