Made in the crockpot, they require little active effort and can easily be prepared ahead of time for a quick and delicious meal.

CONS

While the recipe calls for boneless short ribs, the dish can still be quite fatty if the fat is not properly trimmed.

Beef is a great source of protein and nutrients such as iron and zinc.
The addition of vegetables like carrots and parsnips provides a healthy dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, this dish is high in fat and calories, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
