Simple Slow Cooker Short Ribs (FODMAP Friendly, Paleo Option)

4 Prepare the short ribs. In a large mixing bowl, combine spices, cocoa powder, salt & pepper whisking with a fork  until homogenous. Add the beef short ribs to the bowl, tossing to evenly coat the cuts of meat. Once coated, sear the short ribs in a dutch oven or a large skillet of medium heat, about one minute on each side.
5 Add everything to the slow cooker. Once all short ribs have been seared, add any leftover spice rub and all remaining ingredients to the basin of your slow cooker, stirring gently to combine.
6 Cook. Cook the short ribs on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours in the crock pot until the meat is tender.
