Ingredients

• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 (13.5 oz.) jar barbecue sauce (preferably not tomato-based or sweet)
• 6 beef short ribs
• Beef broth
• Salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Place onion and barbecue sauce in a slow cooker. Season ribs with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ribs in batches and brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer ribs to slow cooker and stand on end. Pour 1/4 cup water into skillet and cook over low heat, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate browned bits. Pour this liquid into slow cooker. Add enough beef broth to cover ribs. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until falling-off-bone tender.

Transfer ribs to a platter; skim fat from sauce. Pour sauce over ribs. Serve ribs with coleslaw and corn on the cob or other seasonal vegetable.
