Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

For Topping

  • 8 slices of French baguette
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare and sear short ribs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear in the pot for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Caramelize onions: In the same pot, add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary, cooking an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Deglaze with white wine: Pour in the white wine, scraping the pot bottom to loosen browned bits. Simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced slightly.
  4. Braise short ribs: Return short ribs to the pot, add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2-2.5 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  5. Shred meat: Remove pot from oven, take out short ribs, shred the meat discarding bones, and return shredded meat to the soup. Stir to combine.
  6. Toast baguette slices: Preheat broiler. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Assemble and broil soup bowls: Ladle soup into bowls, place a toasted baguette slice on top, sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese, and place under broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

  • You can substitute beef short ribs with beef chuck for a leaner option.
  • Use a good quality beef broth for richer flavor.
  • Be sure to caramelize the onions slowly to develop sweetness and depth.
  • Gruyère cheese can be replaced with Swiss cheese if needed.
  • Broil carefully to avoid burning the cheese and bread.
