Step 1
Start by spreading a layer of chopped onion on the bottom of your slow cooker. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper, then place them right on top of the onions. In a separate bowl, mix together the water, pineapple chunks with their juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic, sage, thyme, and mustard. Pour this flavorful sauce over the ribs, making sure everything is well coated. Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours, or if you have more time, set it to low and let it go for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Once done, give everything a good stir and serve up those delicious ribs!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is rich and comforting, perfect for chilly days when you want something hearty. The meat becomes tender and flavorful through slow cooking, making every bite melt in your mouth. It’s a great way to enjoy a classic cut without needing a grill or outdoor space.
How to serve
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery polenta to soak up the delicious sauce. Roasted vegetables or a simple green salad can add a nice contrast and freshness to the meal. A crusty loaf of bread also pairs well for sopping up any extra juices.
Storage & leftovers
Let the dish cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently.
