Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 lbs Country Style Boneless Ribs
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 1 Yellow Onion, thick sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 1 Apple, diced large
- 1 (24 oz) jar Good German Sauerkraut
- 1 Tbsp Caraway Seeds
- ½ cup Apple Juice
Instructions
- Heat a 12" skillet over med-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, then all of the ribs. Let them brown on one side for 4 minutes or long enough to get some color. Salt and pepper the ribs.
- Flip the ribs over and do the same on that side.
- Add the ribs and juices from the skillet to a 6 qt or larger slow cooker.
- Add the sliced onion and the garlic over the top of the ribs.
- Sprinkle the caraway seeds over the ribs/onion.
- Drain 1/2 of the sauerkraut juice and set aside. Dump the sauerkraut and remaining juice over the meat/onions.
- Add the apple and then the apple juice.
- Cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours, or until the ribs are fall apart tender.
- Taste for salt and tartness. Use the remaining sauerkraut liquid only if you want the results to be more tart in flavor.
