Servings: persons

6 beef short ribs
sea salt
fresh cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 rib celery, roughly chopped
1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
24 ounces beer (I used lager)
3 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons smoked spanish paprika
3 tablespoons garlic powder
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1
Season the short ribs very liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet until you see the slightest wisps of smoke coming off the pan. Sear the ribs on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to sear the meat in batches. Once the meat is nicely browned on both sides, transfer to crock pot.
2
Add the vegetables to the skillet, scraping up all of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan as you go. Saute the vegetables for about five minutes. They won't be soft, but they will be browned in some spots and have picked up the oil and brown bits from the beef. Transfer vegetables to crock pot.
3
Add the beer, stock and remaining ingredients to crock pot. Stir gently to roughly incorporate seasonings. Heat on low for about 8 hours.
4
Remove ribs and set aside - the meat should fall off the bone. Strain juices and skim fat (or use a gravy separator. Heat skimmed gravy in pan until reduced by half. Stir in apple cider vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes (the naughty kind with tons of butter and cream) or egg noodles.
