Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs (bone-in)
  • 3 large yellow onions (thinly sliced)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 6 slices baguette or crusty bread (toasted)
  • 1.5 cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, sear on all sides until browned, then set aside.
  2. Caramelize Onions: In the same pot, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Build the Soup: Return short ribs to the pot, add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and thyme. Simmer on low for 2-3 hours until ribs are tender; shred meat and return it to the pot.
  4. Prepare Topping: Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted bread and cheese. Broil for about 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove from oven and serve hot.
