Add salt and pepper liberally to the short ribs. Place the seasoned ribs into a slow cooker.

Add the juice of two medium-sized oranges to the slow cooker. I just cut the oranges in half, and then hand-squeeze the juice right into the cooker.

Add the coconut oil, onion, garlic, and chili powder to the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker on low, and cook for 8-10 hours.

Carefully remove the short ribs from the slow cooker. Much of the meat may have fallen off of the bone; using a slotted spoon for removal can be helpful. Serve with a sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro on top of the ribs.
