These delicious boneless short ribs get loads of flavor from red wine and beef broth. Two packets of gravy mix thicken the sauce as it cooks. The short ribs are incredibly easy to cook in the slow cooker. Just sear the ribs, deglaze the pan, and combine everything in the crockpot. Go to work or use your day to do other things. By the time you get home, the ribs will be fully cooked! 

Serve these melt-in-your-mouth short ribs with mashed potatoes and cream-style corn or steamed broccoli, or use your own favorite vegetables on the side. If you use bone-in ribs, allow about 5 pounds for 4 to 6 people.
