Short ribs that literally fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.
These short ribs are just like no other. I fell in love with it the first time I tried it and I still ma very in love with it. My hubby still isn’t a fan of beef but he does ask for this specific dish once in a while. I guess it’s the start of something good between him and beef.
The slow cooker has done magic to this recipe and it is absolutely fabulous. And since we love beer so much, the recipe is a perfect match for us too. You can go for light beer or non-alcoholic beer if you are serving it to younger people or if you have guests who do not drink alcohol at all.
You will be astonished of how tender and juicy the meat is after hours of cooking. The meat is so tender that it falls off from the bone instantly. This is the biggest reason why my hubby likes this dish even if he doesn’t like beef much, So try it out and tell me what you think.
