Slow Cooker Keto Short Ribs

SLOW COOKERS FOR THE WIN.

I love tools that make life easy. And the slow cooker is one of them. 100%.

Short ribs may intimidate you if you’ve never made them, but they couldn’t be more easy if you have a slow cooker.

It takes all day, but the end result is tender, melt in your mouth beef that you simply can’t get enough of. Serve these with mashed cauliflower for the most comforting experience.

Just throw it in the slow cooker before you go to work. When you come home, you’ll have delicious, tender short ribs that will make your mouth water.

What I love about this keto-friendly recipe is that it uses nutritious, real-food ingredients. You can be keto and eat nothing but steak and cheese, but you won’t get the full benefits of the keto diet as you would if you are eating a varied diet.
