Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. Drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.

In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, oxtail seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Generously season the short ribs on all sides with this mixture, pressing the seasoning into the meat.

Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned short ribs in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear the ribs for 5 minutes on each side until a rich, dark crust forms.

Carefully transfer all the seared short ribs into the slow cooker.

Evenly sprinkle the chopped yellow onion and green onions over the short ribs in the slow cooker. Pour in the 3 cups of chicken broth.

Add the fresh rosemary sprigs, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and the smashed garlic cloves to the slow cooker.

Season the liquid in the slow cooker with a pinch more of the same seasonings used on the meat (salt, pepper, oxtail seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder) to taste.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Set the slow cooker to cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the short ribs are incredibly tender and falling apart.

Once cooked, carefully remove the short ribs from the slow cooker. Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid if desired. Serve the tender short ribs immediately, paired with mashed potatoes and green beans. Drizzle with hot sauce before serving, if desired.
