Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine (or additional beef broth)
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs until browned on all sides, then set aside.
- In the same pot, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until caramelized (20–25 minutes). Add minced garlic and thyme; cook for an additional minute.
- Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Return short ribs to the pot and add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2–3 hours until meat is tender.
- Shred the cooked meat from the bones using two forks and return it to the soup, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot by ladling into bowls, topping with toasted French bread slices and shredded Gruyère cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly.
