Celebrating the USA with Korean Short Ribs

We are those middle age people now who have a freezer dedicated to meat. Last year we bought a quarter cow and half a pig and filled our freezer to the brim. We've faithfully gone to the freezer and picked cuts of meat for meals and it has been great! We are getting to the bottoms of the bins and trying to finish up some cuts before the next quarter cow comes. I sent Andy on a mission to pick a piece of meat for July 4th for dinner - he picked beef short ribs. Since we had the day off and decided not to relax, instead we worked our hind ends off all day doing yard work and everything in between so a crockpot recipe was greatly appreciated. We celebrated the birth of the good ol' USA with Korean Short Ribs - I mean why not? These were delicious! I am zero percent a fan of cooking in a crockpot while I'm home, mostly because I have to smell it all day and worry it's not cooking properly or too much. I almost forgot these were on the counter we had so much going on a day. It was wonderful to have a dinner ready to go with some added rice and veg to fortify us to walk to the fireworks and have some fun with friends.
