Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Beef Short Ribs
- 3 large Yellow Onions
- 6 cups Beef Broth
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1 cup Gruyère or Swiss Cheese, grated
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the yellow onions thinly and mincing the garlic. Set the ingredients aside for easy access.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally for about 25-30 minutes until they become caramelized and golden brown.
- Add the Garlic: Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute or two until fragrant.
- Brown the Short Ribs: In the same pot, push the onions to the side and add the beef short ribs. Sear on all sides until well-browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add the Broth: Pour in the beef broth, ensuring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Slow Cook: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender.
- Prepare the Baguette: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, and top with grated cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the bay leaves and shred the short ribs into bite-sized pieces. Ladle the soup into bowls, placing a cheesy baguette slice on top of each. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
