Slow Cooker Spicy Asian Beef Short Ribs – This easy, perfectly salty and spicy beef short ribs recipe is made in your slow cooker!

How to Make Slow Cooker Spicy Asian Beef Short Ribs

It seems totally fitting that I whipped out my slow cooker this week. It’s getting cooler here in Wisconsin with temperatures falling fast. I, personally, love it. Bring on the cold weather!

I also absolutely love the smell when you walk into your kitchen if you have something cooking in your slow cooker. There’s nothing like it. And I especially love slow cooking beef because it just falls apart and practically melts in your mouth. So flavorful and so amazing. I mean, come on, just look at this!

Your kitchen will smell heavenly with this slow cooker SPICY Asian Beef Short Ribs dish! With just 5 ingredients, plus salt and pepper, you've got to try this!

THE BEST SLOW COOKER SPICY ASIAN BEEF SHORT RIBS

One thing I’ve learned with cooking with my slow cooker is that if you have good quality meat, you don’t really need a lot of ingredients to get something that’s flavorful and delicious.

Also, this recipe uses one of my favorite Korean ingredients, gochujang. So, if you’re feeling spicy, you are going to love this recipe! Because, believe me, these beef short ribs have some nice heat to them.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SPICY ASIAN BEEF SHORT RIBS

  • Beef broth
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Scallions – diced, with some set aside for garnishing
  • Gochujang – Korean hot pepper paste
  • Honey
  • Beef short ribs – your choice of bone-in or boneless
  • Salt and pepper
  • White rice for serving

How to Make Slow Cooker Spicy Asian Beef Short Ribs

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER SPICY ASIAN BEEF SHORT RIBS

This is seriously one of the easiest recipes to put together! I get the slow cooker set up in the late morning with the beef short ribs and seasonings, allow it to cook to perfection all day, and then make fresh white rice about 30 minutes before I’m ready to serve.

Here’s how to put everything together in your slow cooker:

1. Whisk together the beef broth, hoisin sauce, diced scallions, gochujang and honey all right in the slow cooker. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper on both sides, and nestle into the slow cooker. The gochujang mixture should completely cover your beef.

2. Cover and cook until beef is tender, for about 7-8 hours on low or 4 to 6 hours on high.

3. Once finished, transfer the short ribs to serving platter. Skim off any excess fat (if any) from the surface of the sauce, and pour the sauce over the short ribs. Garnish with more diced scallion greens.

Serve the spicy beef ribs over white rice, pouring more of the sauce over the dish if you like.

I hope you give this one a try… it is really delicious!

    It’s still sunny and beautiful here but the temps are cooling – in other words, perfect fall weather! The leaves are already changing colour on the trees too. I love it! Just as much as I love this dish – I can’t wait to start using my slow cooker! That beef looks like it melts in the mouth, Alice. It’s 10:30 in the morning but I wish I had a giant plate of this beef and rice in front of me right now!

      Hi Kathy,
      Why don’t you just use 1/2 or 1 tablespoon of gochujang? That should be ok. If you try this, please let me know how you like it! 🙂

    Okay.. I know it’s obnoxious when someone almost totally changes a recipe but I just had to have this tonight. Then realized I had very few of the few ingredients haha.. But i wasn’t going to give up on something so delicious looking! So here are some substitutions I tried in case anyone else runs into the same problem:

    Hoisen sauce: one part country bobs, one part original kc masterpiece BBQ sauce, one part maple syrup, two dashes soy sauce

    Gochujang: I pretty much followed this recipe (sort of.. Didn’t use soy bean paste.. Okay and I may have used some somewhat cheap white wine instead of rice wine. I was REALLY under prepared) http://www.hannaone.com/Recipe/kochujangreplacement.html

    With a dash of sugar and a dash of soy sauce for good measure… This very altered recipe was so delicious that I made extra of the sauce and bottled it up. Can’t wait to try it without substitutions! Thank you for the recipe! And seriously… I feel like I should apologize for so many substitutions but my tummy wouldn’t be so happy right now without this recipe to start with

      Hi Debra, you can sear the beef before placing into the slow cooker to seal in the juices but I wouldn’t so any more than that. . the slow cooker will cook everything for you!
