If you MUST boil ribs in a pot of liquid, here’s the acceptable way of doing it..in a cast iron pot. Crock pots are for your granny. 

In a few hours, this will be wine braised beef short ribs. I was going to serve this over polenta, but Mrs Tex overrode that decision. I will be serving it over mashed potatoes (Yukon Gold), with a gravy made from the braise liquid. 

I’ll post pics when it’s plated, and ready to serve. 

That looks like pig soup 

Beef short ribs....not pig.

Reading is fundamental. 

They were seared on a cast iron skillet, before being placed on a bed of onion, celery, and carrots. Then, 2 cups red wine, and 4 cups beef stock is poured in the Dutch oven, a few sprigs of thyme on top, and a nice rest in the oven for a few hours. 

My house smells amazing right now.

Ya, I do the same thing in a crockpot 

Crock pots are for your grandma. 

Dutch ovens are for the Amish 

The Amish are hard workers, who make awesome food. I’ll take that as a compliment.

They don’t have running water or soap. How sanitary could their food prep be?

They have, however, perfected a flatulence delivery technique 

Go fire up your crock pot, grandma Zeke. Maybe you can make velveeta beer cheese soup for tomorrow’s dinner. 

You don’t have to fire it up. You just plug it in. Franklin invented this thing called electricity.

When the power is out, grandmas crock pot is useless. 

A cast iron Dutch oven can be used in the oven, on a grill, or over a fire. 

Once the short ribs are done....

First, you make a roux. 

Then, strain the solids from the braise liquid, and make a gravy. Use a little bit of fresh thyme in the gravy to tie it all together, 

Then, plate it. 

A little gravy, garlic mashies, topped by a lovely braised short rib. Garnish with a little green onion.

Well, at lease the term “crock” applies.

I hear if you add some canned crushed pineapple to Zeke's recipe, it's even better.

If'n yer gonna put pineapple on meat, it may as well be pork.  They go together like,  pineapple and pork, which it turns out, is a pretty good combo.

That’s jus silly! That’s for the meatloaf!

Although crockpot Jamaica jerk ribs could enjoy some ananas comosus

Once day I’d like to do true jerk pork/chicken...cooked over pimento wood.
