Crock pot Texas style boneless beef ribs are slow cooked and are so easy, so tender, and full of flavor. The slow cooker ensures that the meat is super tender, cooked without the need to babysit it, and that classic sweet and spicy homemade BBQ sauce slathered all over them brings all the flavors home. It’s a fantastic recipe for almost any occasion, and because it’s cooked in the Crock Pot, you never have to pick “the right time” to make it.<\/p>\n\n\n

When you think of barbecue, what’s the first thing you think of? Most likely, it was ribs, right? Of all the barbecued foods out there, ribs and brisket seem to be tied for first place in most people’s minds. We do love our brisket, but when I want to make an easy barbecue dinner, I go for these ribs because they’re just so darn easy. I mean, you’re not really going to fit a brisket into a Crock Pot, and even if you could, it just wouldn’t be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interesting thing about these Texas style beef ribs is that they work so well in the slow cooker. You’d never know that they weren’t cooked on the grill! That makes them the perfect barbecue dish to make any time of the year, but especially during the cold months or on rainy days. You’ll get all that delicious barbecue flavor without having to go outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boneless Beef Ribs vs. Country Style Short Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although both boneless beef ribs and country style short ribs will work well in this recipe, I find the flavor better when I use boneless beef ribs. They just seem to be more tender. That might be because boneless beef ribs are actually ribs, while country style ribs aren’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boneless beef ribs are exactly what the name says. They’re beef ribs that have had the bone and membrane removed, leaving only the delicious meat and marbling that will melt into the meat to make it super tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country style ribs, on the other hand, aren’t actually ribs at all. They’re almost an exclusively American cut of beef that are taken from the chuck eye roll. Think of them as the beef equivalent of boneless wings. While they’re a bit less expensive than true beef ribs, they also don’t cook up quite as tender. That being said, they are definitely a serviceable alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Texas Barbecue Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s where we get to the Texas style portion of this Texas style beef ribs recipe. The sauce is the boss for this one. You’ll find all kinds of barbecue sauces around the country. From super thick to thin, mild to hot, super sweet to far more savory. There are some quite famous regional favorites, and one of those is Texas barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas barbecue sauce is a thin sauce, but it’s not anemic by any stretch of the imagination. This sauce is known for being both sweet and packing some heat, and it often features such ingredients as hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. My take on classic Texas barbecue sauce includes garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar for some tartness, honey and brown sugar for some sweetness, and of course, red pepper flakes for that classic kick of heat that Texas barbecue sauce is known for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Texas Style Beef Ribs – So Easy and So Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using boneless beef ribs in the Crock Pot leads to super tender beef that is a joy to eat while using Texas barbecue sauce gives these ribs that classic Texas flavor that is just so good. I’m a big fan of this recipe because I can simply set it and forget it, coming back to it in a few hours when it’s all cooked up and ready to be devoured. I’m a particularly big fan of this recipe for big family get-togethers in the summer because while someone else is out in the back grilling, I can have these ribs cooking in the kitchen. That way it’s so much easier to have a variety of delicious barbecue goodness for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a fan of beef and barbecue, then this is the recipe for you. I’ve never had anyone say anything about this recipe other than, “Do you have any more?” And leftovers? Not likely!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many of my other recipes, I don’t recommend changing anything about this recipe. It just works so well exactly as it is. The only thing – the ONLY thing – I might say is that you could use country style beef ribs in place of the boneless beef ribs if you want. But even then, I wouldn’t do it unless you simply cannot find ribs at the store.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
