Season the short ribs on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer browned ribs to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ground ginger. Pour the mixture over the ribs in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the black beans to allow them to heat through and absorb some of the sauce flavors.
Once done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt or soy sauce.
Serve the short ribs and black beans over steamed rice or alongside a vegetable stir-fry. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
