Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs, Recipe

Found this recipe on-line from food.com and we tried it on Sunday. The link: http://www.food.com/recipe/slow-cooker-beef-short-ribs-32147

This is a SUPER easy recipe and it turned out really well. Browning the beef ahead of time is the key. The only change we made to the recipe is instead of using chili sauce & chili powder, we used 1/4 cup of Sriracha. It gave the ribs some bite and a lot more flavor than the first time we made short ribs in the slow cooker. We served this over plain white rice. We have one rib leftover that we will try in a red sauce over pasta tonight.

This picture is after removing them from the slow cooker. We didn't save the juices from the slow cooker but Alan had suggested that next time we save some, add flour and make a gravy.
