Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the beef short ribs dry with paper towels, then generously season them with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In your slow cooker, place the seasoned beef short ribs in a single layer at the bottom. Slice the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces, and scatter them over the ribs.
  3. Pour soy sauce and beef broth over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker. Drizzle honey and sesame oil on top. If you like a spicy kick, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for about 6 hours.
  5. Once cooking is complete, remove the lid and gently stir the mixture to incorporate the flavors.
  6. To serve, spoon generous portions of the succulent Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs and vegetables over steamed rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
