Recipe: Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs with Rosemary and Black Olives

Knowing how many beef short ribs to buy per person can be confusing. Buying by weight isn't practical. Ask your butcher and mention that you'll be using a slow cooker, so the ribs will have to be short otherwise they won't fit in the pot. 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long is about right. A basic rule is that three 6 inch (15 cm) long ribs are enough per person.
