Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices of baguette or crusty bread, toasted
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Sear the short ribs: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef short ribs on all sides to enhance flavor.
  2. Caramelize the onions: Add butter and sliced onions to the same pot. Cook slowly over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant (20-30 minutes).
  3. Build your broth: Stir in minced garlic for a minute, then add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add short ribs back: Return seared short ribs to the pot; cover and simmer on low heat for about two hours until tender.
  5. Serve: Toast baguette slices until golden. Ladle soup into bowls, top with toast and shredded cheese. Broil until bubbly before serving.
