Paleolithic Braised Short Ribs
I love short ribs…fall off the bone, tender, juicy, flavorful short ribs. If you’d rather cook these in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours after browning, be my guest! You’ll end up with delicious and succulent meat either way. Serve over a bed of cauliflower rice or with veggies and enjoy!
