If you’re looking for the perfect weeknight dinner. You can throw everything into the slow cooker in the morning and when you get home, just thicken the sauce with some arrowroot and serve it with the steamed broccolini and (cauliflower) rice.
This is a recipe that you’ll want to double (or triple). The leftovers are amazing, even cold for lunch.
Pro tip: If you can’t find short ribs, try boneless chuck roast and cut it into 2-inch chunks.
Serve this with a side of cauliflower rice.
