Ingredients

Marinade

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Short Ribs

2 lbs beef short ribs (4-6 pieces)
2 cups beef broth
10 garlic cloves
4 shallots (SEE NOTES)
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
4 bay leaves

Gravy

¼ cup water (SEE NOTES)
1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients in the marinade and pour over the short ribs in a ziploc bag. Massage well and leave in the fridge to marinate overnight.
In the morning, add the ribs, along with the marinade, to your slow cooker.
Pour the broth over the ribs and add in the garlic cloves and shallots.
Place the herbs on top, seal your slow cooker and set it to cook. I used the slow cooker setting on my Instant Pot and it took the ribs 5 hours (SEE NOTES FOR ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS)

Notes

Shallots - I like the mild, sweet taste of shallots as opposed to onions but ½ onion will do if you don't have shallots.

Water - The water is only needed to make a cornstarch slurry. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker, discard the herbs, strain the liquid and place it in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and thicken with the slurry. Drizzle over the ribs when serving to add some moisture.

Slow Cooker - If you're using a traditional slow cooker, cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours or high setting for 4-6 hours.
