Add salt and pepper to all sides of the short ribs.
In a large skillet over medium heat brown all the sides of each piece of short rib. About 20 seconds per side.
Add all ingredients to a large crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours, or until meat is falling off the bone.
Once finished, remove short ribs and vegetables, set aside. Discard herbs. Don't dispose of the liquid!
Serve immediately with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and drizzle with the liquid from the crockpot.
