Method

Step by step

  1. 01

    Season short ribs with salt and pepper.

  2. 02

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add half of ribs.

  3. 03

    Cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker. Repeat with remaining ribs.

  4. 04

    Add onion, ginger and garlic to skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until onion is slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. 05

    Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. (Mixture will be very dry.) Add soy sauce and broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring to pick up browned bits. Pour over ribs in the slow cooker.

  6. 06

    Cover. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours.

  7. 07

    Transfer ribs to a platter and cover to keep warm.

  8. 08

    Strain cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.

  9. 09

    Season with salt and pepper.

  10. 10

    Ladle sauce over ribs.
