Slow Cooker Short Ribs
Had this for dinner tonight. Followed all directions except for the horseradish as I didnt have any and didnt think wasabi be a good sub. I also had to use high for the last couple of hours. It didnt look like my crock pot was going to finish at a decent hour otherwise. This is a super good recipe. The meat never touched the liquid and was fall apart tender and juicy. The veggies absorbed tons of flavor. My batting average is increasing with a slow cooker. Thank you Frankie for a great recipe

I'm so glad the crock pot is slowly working out for you! It's definitely my second best friend with Briauna being in dance and other activities. I remember when Frankie posted this recipe and not sure why I didn't bookmark it!!! Making this one soon for sure just gotta find a good deal on some short ribs! Nice picture and great post Mr. P!!

Hey, Im part Asian what do you expect : ) Besides, I had a baked potato last week. But seriously, I know I need other sides. Im still kind of working on the mains though. I have looked at couscous <sp?> but it just looks too teeny and theres not much in the box.

Thanks, ML2C. I was SHOCKED to see what short ribs cost. I was sure it was mismarked. I mean theres a lot of bone and fat there. Whats with all the $$. But after alls said and done, it was worth it. Now I will watch for when they go on sale. I didnt get sale price for these. I just wanted to make them.

hehe.......OK you guys. Next time I will put a thing of soy sauce for Keni and a box of raisins for ML2C :P

EEEWWW not raisins and EEEWWW not soy sauce (for Keni) lol!

I don't even think I've ever cooked short ribs Mr P. They are expensive but I do remember seeing them at Sams Club for cheap a couple months ago so I was gonna check next time I go.

Oh and couscous really plumps up. I mean they aren't huge morsels but they do soak up the water and just about double their size. You should try some. Here's a good one I've tried before Tomato Basil And Couscous Salad Use dried basil if the fresh is unavailable or expensive right now.

Soy sauce is only slightly better than the evil and vile teriyaki!

but, I LOVE cilantro! hehehe

mrpiggy 12 years ago said:

ML2C, that Couscous dish looks good. And it looks like rice too : ) I may have to try it.

Yeh I know you and ML2C like that soapy stuff

And this is my first time cooking short ribs. It might even be the first time having them

Teriyaki IS Soy sauce, with a couple ingredients added: Teriyaki Sauce
Another $$ saver when you make your own.

It's the first time I've heard of you not liking teriyaki Keni but now I see why with the soy that's in it. I actually just made a burger with teriyaki in it and it was really good and it would have been nice to use that recipe other than buying some like I did. I'm saving that recipe points!

haha. I was laughing so much by the time I got to the final post that I forgot what the original post was about! :-D
Thanks so much for making this, MrP. I don't understand why short ribs are so expensive either. Seems like most cuts of beef are. But, I am so happy you liked it.
Nice to see that healthy celery in the shot. :) I'm glad you are starting to get along with your slow cooker. I love mine!

Yes...it's soy sauce...SWEET soy sauce

ugh!!!

I use Dale's whenever I have a need for any Soy sauce type addition ... it's mostly soy sauce, but only slightly less offensive.

It's a local company ... do you have that P7O? Or, have you seen it?

I have had the bottle I currently have for probably 4 years. Or more. :)

4 years? That sounds like my container of baking powder. Hey, at least we are getting our moneys worth.

Frankie, this was so good. Thanks again. And I just had to add the celery since I had some fresh

Ha! MP, if you have had your baking powder for that long .. toss it! It's not doing you a lick of good, anyway, and if you DO try to make biscuits with it, you will likely not have a good outcome! hehehe

I guess I should replace it. I just use it SO rarely. The can still looks new. Doesnt that count for anything? If its stale, can I mix/break it all up and put it in the freezer and make it fresh again like ML2C does with stale bread to make fresh bread crumbs : )

No such luck, MP.... once it loses it's efficacy, you're SOL. Time to move on! hehehe

mommyluvs2cook 12 years ago said:

LOL Mr P. It' looks new cause you hardly touch it, so no it doesn't count for anything ;)

Baking powder, for the most part, is baking soda and is activated by moisture. Over time it will adsorb moisture out of the air and tend to become clumpy. That takes away from its effectiveness when combined with moisture in your recipe.
As long as you're giving your baking powder "the 'ol fish eye", check out your box of baking soda too.

Could I use one instead of the other? Does one work better? My baking soda has been in the fridge forever. I cant remember ever even using it. The only thing I bake would be something like banana bread or a cobler. I do want to try a biscuit recipe so I will replace the powder

No, no, no, MrP! They are not interchangeable. They both do different things. I'm not awake enough to point out the differences right now though. Just know one is totally different from the other.

Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat!
Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch). Baking powder is available as single-acting baking powder and as double-acting baking powder. Single-acting powders are activated by moisture, so you must bake recipes which include this product immediately after mixing. Double-acting powders react in two phases and can stand for a while before baking. With double-acting powder, some gas is released at room temperature when the powder is added to dough, but the majority of the gas is released after the temperature of the dough increases in the oven.
Some recipes call for baking soda, while others call for baking powder. Which ingredient is used depends on the other ingredients in the recipe. The ultimate goal is to produce a tasty product with a pleasing texture. Baking soda is basic and will yield a bitter taste unless countered by the acidity of another ingredient, such as buttermilk. You'll find baking soda in cookie recipes. Baking powder contains both an acid and a base and has an overall neutral effect in terms of taste. Recipes that call for baking powder often call for other neutral-tasting ingredients, such as milk. Baking powder is a common ingredient in cakes and biscuits.
