Beef short ribs are rubbed with ranch seasoning, seared until deeply browned, then slow-cooked with onions, red wine, and Dijon for fall-apart tenderness and layered flavor. The result is rich, savory meat with a tangy, aromatic sauce that’s perfect for ladling over mashed potatoes or polenta. Serve this comforting Slow-Cooker Ranch Short Ribs dish for a cozy dinner or weekend gathering.

1

Place the short ribs in a resealable plastic bag (such as Glad) and sprinkle them with ranch dressing seasoning mix. Seal the bag and toss until the short ribs are evenly coated.
2

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven until very hot but not smoking. Add the short ribs and brown on all sides (you may need to do this in two batches), 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a slow cooker.
3

Nestle the onions around the short ribs. Mix the red wine and mustard together, then pour over the top. Cover the slow cooker.
4

Cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours. Skim as much grease as possible from the top, then season with salt and black pepper.
