Slow Cooker Beef Ribs

Print Recipe

These slow cooker beef ribs are tender, succulent, and flavorful with an intensely beefy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth fat. They are cooked slowly for several hours and finished under the broiler for a perfect crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds beef back ribs – 7-8 ribs
  • 2 teaspoons smoked salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. If your ribs come in a full rack, turn the rack bone side up. Use a well-sharpened butcher's knife or chef's knife to cut the rack into individual ribs.
  2. Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, mix the smoked salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme.
  3. Turn the ribs bone side down. Season them with the seasoning mix, pressing to help the spices adhere to the meat.
  4. Layer the ribs in a 6-quart slow cooker pan. Add ½ cup of water to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
  6. Fit an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element (not directly below) and heat your broiler on high (500°F). Arrange the ribs on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Baste them with the cooking liquids.
  7. Broil the ribs briefly to brown them, for about 2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Searing the ribs before slow cooking is optional but adds extra flavor through caramelization. These ribs pair well with mashed potatoes, polenta, or gnocchi. Broiling at the end creates a delicious crust.
