Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 4 pounds beef short ribs
- Lemon pepper, to taste
- Garlic salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 packet beefy onion soup mix
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans tomatoes with green pepper, celery and onion

Directions
Slice the onion and put it into a slow cooker.
Season the short ribs with lemon pepper and garlic salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown all sides of the short ribs. When browned, place in slow cooker on top of sliced onions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over the top of short ribs. Cover and cook on high setting for 3 to 4 hours or low for 8 to 9 hours.

This was my firt time making ribs and I thought this recipe was very easy and yummy. I followed the recipe exactly. Loved the Chinese 5 spice flavor! The two things I would change would be salting the meat a little more and only use one cup of beef broth (there was a lot of liquid left over!The meat was falling off the bone. Great recipe!

I used a chuck roast instead of short ribs and cooked it covered in the oven for 3 hours. The liquids cooked down to a rich sauce. It smelled incredible while cooking! I served it over egg noodles. Delicious!!! Can't wait to cook it again.

I have made this recipe several times. Everyone who has had them at my table loves them and always asks for the recipe. I love being able to use my slow cooker to prepare them. A great Sunday brunch or busy day recipe!
