Enjoy tender and flavorful beef ribs cooked to perfection in a slow cooker with a smoky BBQ twist.
Prepare the slow cooker by spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray.
This prevents the ribs from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Remove the inner membrane from the back of the beef ribs.
Use a paper towel to grip the membrane for easier removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring all sides are coated.
Let the ribs sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Slice the onion into rings and layer them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
The onions add flavor and prevent the ribs from sticking to the bottom.
Place the seasoned ribs on top of the onion layer in the slow cooker.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer for even cooking.
Drizzle the liquid smoke over the ribs.
Liquid smoke enhances the smoky flavor of the ribs.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the ribs are tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the ribs from the slow cooker and discard the cooking liquid.
Handle the ribs gently as they will be very tender.
Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, coating them generously.
Use a brush for even application of the sauce.
Return the ribs to the slow cooker and cook on low for an additional hour.
This step allows the sauce to caramelize and infuse into the ribs.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
