Slow-Cooker Melt-In-Your-Mouth Short Ribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs beef short ribs, cut into serving-sized pieces
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle dark beer or (12 fluid ounce) bottle beer

Preparation

Place the beef into a 3 1/2- to 6-qt. slow cooker.
Add the brown sugar, garlic, thyme and flour.
Toss to coat.
Stir the soup and ale in a small bowl.
Pour over the beef.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours* or until the beef is fork-tender.
Serve with the mashed potatoes or noodles, if desired.
This could be cooked in the slow cooker on high for 4-5 hours, but I haven't tried it.
