👩🍳 How to Make Slow Cooker Barbequed Beef Ribs
Step 1: Season the Ribs
Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. This builds deep flavor right from the start.
Step 2: Make the BBQ Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together:
• Barbecue sauce
• Beef broth
• Brown sugar
This combination creates a rich, sticky, sweet-savory sauce that soaks into the meat as it cooks.
Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection
Place the ribs into your slow cooker. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the top, making sure the ribs are well coated.
Cover and cook:
• Low for 7–8 hours (best for ultra-tender ribs)
• High for 4–5 hours if you’re short on time
The ribs are done when they’re fork-tender and falling off the bone.

🔥 Optional Finishing Step (Highly Recommended!)
For that irresistible sticky BBQ finish:
1. Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker
2. Place them on a baking sheet
3. Brush with extra BBQ sauce
4. Broil for 3–5 minutes until caramelized
This step takes them from amazing to next-level delicious 🤤
