Make this in the slow cooker or on the stove top, it's super simple, make-ahead friendly and full of flavor. I actually make it all year round. For the slow cooker method, just place everything in the pot and cook on high for 7 - 8 hours. Skim off the fat before serving. I do miss the browning of the meat and all the flavor that adds but you cannot beat the ease of making it in the slow cooker. Feel free to add carrots or parsnips to this too.

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add meat and brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove meat from pan.
- Add mushrooms, tomatoes with juice, wine, broth, thyme, salt and pepper, and stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to boil and add meat back to pot, reduce heat to simmer and cook, partially covered 3 to 3 ½ hours, until meat is very tender. Serve warm with pan juices.
Notes
Best made a day or two ahead of time. Scrape off fat, before reheating and serving.
Living in Israel, the meat sold here goes by a number so what number meat can we buy for the recipe?
Short ribs are similar to asado in Israel if you need more info about this or other cuts you can refer to this guide - https://jamiegeller.com/guides/hebrew-english-meat-guide-for-israel/
