Crock pot short ribs

I decided last evening that I wanted a way to take the  bee short ribs in my freezer and create an easy weeknight dinner .So I prepped my vegetables last evening placed them in the fridge and got my 6 quart  programmable crock pot  out.I put everything together this morning and set the crock pot on low for 10 hours and let her rip.
When I got home this evening  the aroma in the kitchen was mouth watering.I then sauteed  onion and mushrooms added the  toasted the whole wheat Israeli style couscous, and steamed the brussel sprouts.
Here's the recipe for the short ribs sorry no picture this evening.

2 medium carrots cut in 1/2 inch srounds
2 ribs celery cut int large chunks ~ 1 "
2 medium onions sliced
1-2 pkg(~ 1 - 1/12 lbs)  beef short ribs
1 tsp miso paste
2 tsp worcesteshire sauce
1/2 -3/4 cup dry red wine
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
 through it all in the crock pot set it on low for  8-10 hours and go to work without a worry knowing you'l have a
hearty dinner when you get home,serve over your favorite rice or couscous or even quinoa
and take your pick of a green vegetable for the side
