So my butcher had a killer sale on their boneless beef short ribs.  Now, while I’m not a big beef fan, I absolutely LOVE beef short ribs.  I mean just look at how I turned these babies one time into made them in an Osso Buco manner.  LOVED LOVED LOVED this dish!

It was hot out and with my HVAC still not working I wanted these bad boys but didn’t want to have to turn on the oven.  <Enter one of my 9 crock pots… yes 9> I opted to make this into a shredded beef type way that I could easily adapt into various meals.

Tonight we went with BBQ sliders with one of the best bacon bbq sauces ever!  It’s borderline spicy but has that killer bacon undertone followed by sweet bbq sauce.

I literally could not stop eating this stuff!  Now you all know how picky of an eater I am and that I rarely do leftovers.  I am just not a re-heat type of girl.  Now that could stem from the fact growing up we never really had leftovers having 4 boys in the house who ate everything that wasn’t nailed down!

But this…

THIS…

This I ate every day for a week in a variety of ways – sliders, just by itself, on pizza, mixed in a casserole type dish with baked beans and taters.  It was.. no, IS awesome!

This is that dish you can have all year round!  I mean with graduation party season upon us, this is KILLER to have as a food option!  It’s super simple to make and can feed a ton! Plus seriously, this BBQ sauce is AMAZING!!!

    Hi Lori. I want to make these. BUT I have two racks of beef ribs, like baby back rob size. Wondered if these could be used for the osso buco recipe along with the amazing recipe for the bbq sauce, debone and shred. Think that would work? There’s a nice layer of fat on these ribs too. Unfortunately, I made your MIL pressure cooker pot roast with my chuck roast and only have the beef ribs and a round roast. Suggestions? Also, you got a pressure cooker conversion for this? Ever tried one? Our temps are 98-105 the next week’s. So I’m looking yo not heat up the house too much. Xox

      Hey hon! Oh yeah you can totally use beef ribs. I would follow this recipe to pressure cook your beef ribs http://www.thekitchenwhisperer.net/2014/09/04/pressure-cooker-st-louis-ribs-whiskey-bbq-sauce/ Unless yours are ginormous I would think the time will be the same. And yes you could totally use the beef ribs in the osso buco recipe but it may take a bit longer as beef ribs baked take a while hon.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!

    This sounds/looks really great and I look forward to making it. Just wanted to ask if it’s just me or are all the spice mix ingredients listed twice?

      Hi Steve,

      Now that’s weird! It showed up fine in Internet Exploder (haha) but double in Firefox. I checked the code and it’s only listed once. Let me know if it’s still like that for you.

    Help me out here – need some clarification. On the instructions for these wonderful looking ribs nothing is said about applying the rub to the ribs – maybe it is understood but want to be sure. I see the rub is required for the sauce. I am making this for Father’s Day and don’t want to go wrong. Thank you so much, I am eager to give this a try.

      Ah ha! Thanks Jojo for catching that! I thought I missed a step but for the life of me couldn’t see where I missed it!

      After you pat the ribs dry, rub the spice mixture on all sides then place in the crock pot.

      I absolutely LOVED this dish! The beef is incredible! If you want and can’t find boneless you can use bone-in. Just be sure to take the bone out and remove the fat/sinew prior to shredding.
