Description

Beef ribs get a tangy flavor makeover with some unexpected ingredients in this quick and easy crock pot dinner. Recipe can be thrown together in (literally) three minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Thawed, Boneless Country Style Beef Ribs
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ cups Barbecue Sauce
  • ½ cups Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
  • ½ cups Applesauce

Preparation

Place beef ribs in the bottom of slow cooker and sprinkle liberally with black pepper.

In a spouted cup, combine the barbecue sauce, vinaigrette salad dressing, and applesauce. Stir well.

Pour wet mixture over meat. Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW setting for 4-5 hours. (If you need to cook it longer, you could probably leave the beef partially frozen to begin with to buy some extra cook time, or use a cheap roast instead of the ribs, which will need longer to cook.)

Serve with the marinade spooned over the ribs. Steamed carrots make for a worthy sidekick.

Thanks, hooteats! It has sort of an old-timey flavor in the end. I like that the marinade becomes thick and swirly instead of just turning into broth in the Crock Pot, like so many pot roast marinades.

This sounds awesome! I love slow cooker meals, and this combination for the sauce sounds delicious.

was yummy. fell apart so easily. i was just hoping for a bit more flavor. it could have been our choice of bbq sauce. we used something sweeter. next time i would use an open pit or throw a bit of red pepper flakes in for a little kick. oh and just a touch of salt.
thanks for sharing!
