Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season all over with the kosher salt and black pepper. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the ribs in a single layer, working in batches if needed, for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply browned on all sides. Transfer the seared ribs to the slow cooker insert.
