Place ribs on the slow cooker and top with sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Place ribs in a large slow cooker (at least 6 quart). I curled mine around but you can cut them in half if you need to. Pour sauce on top and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.
If you want to carmelize your bbq sauce put them back in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Totally your preference though.

1 lb beef flank marinating steak, thinly sliced across the grain
1 onion, sliced
2 sweet peppers (red, orange and/or yellow), sliced

Directions:


Combine 3 tbsp water, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and pinch each salt and pepper. Set aside.

Return beef to skillet. Add oyster sauce mixture; cook, tossing to coat, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
