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
  • 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
  • 1½ cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Sear the short ribs: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides before removing from the pot.
  2. Caramelize the onions: In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook low and slow until golden brown (20–30 minutes).
  3. Build your broth: Stir in garlic, then add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Return short ribs to the pot and simmer for about two hours.
  4. Toast your bread: Preheat oven to broil. Toast baguette slices until golden brown.
  5. Serve with cheese: Remove bay leaf from soup, ladle into bowls topped with toasted bread and cheese. Broil briefly until cheese is bubbly.
