Ingredients
- 600ml Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon
- 1.5kg beef chuck short ribs
- 2 whole shallots, minced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 240ml beef stock
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Directions
- Put a pan of oil over a high heat and, when hot, add the ribs. Sprinkle salt and pepper and brown the meat for about three to four minutes on each side.
- Remove the ribs once they have browned and place in the slow cooker.
- Let the pan cool and then put back over a medium heat with the shallots and celery, which have been mined and diced.
- Sauté until tender, which will take about five minutes. Add the tomato paste and mash with the celery and shallots before continuing to sauté on a medium heat for a further four minutes.
- Pour in the wine and beef broth, stirring as you add brown sugar, salt, pepper and flour. Continue stirring to ensure that there are no clumps.
- Let sauce come to the boil and then allow to simmer before pouring over the ribs and adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and either cook on ‘Low’ for 11 to 12 hours or ‘High’ for 7 to 8 hours.
