1️⃣ Prepare the Short Ribs:

• Trim excess fat from the boneless beef short ribs.
• Pat dry with a paper towel for a better sear.
• Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

2️⃣ Sear the Ribs:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Sear the ribs for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Remove from heat and set aside.

3️⃣ Slow Cooker Method:

• Place onions, garlic, carrots, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Layer the seared short ribs on top.
• Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, then pour over the ribs.
• Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until fork-tender.

4️⃣ Oven-Braised Method:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In a Dutch oven, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant.
• Add red wine (optional) and reduce for 3 minutes.
• Return ribs to the pot, add beef broth, and cover.
• Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

5️⃣ Instant Pot Method:

• Use the “Sauté” function to sear the ribs.
