Braised Short Ribs

Begin by lightly coating your short ribs in flour making sure to shake off any excess flour. Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add some olive oil and brown your short ribs on both sides. Approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, then place into your crockpot. In the same pan sauté your onions and garlic. Then add your tomato paste and wine and allow to simmer for several minutes before adding your beef broth. Add salt and pepper to taste and then pour this liquid over your short ribs. Then add carrot sticks and fresh herbs. Cover and set your crockpot to cook on high for 6 hours. Serve over mashed potatoes and enjoy!
