Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef short ribs
- 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 6 cups beef broth (preferably homemade)
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by slicing the onions and cutting the beef short ribs into manageable pieces.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Push the onions aside, add the short ribs, and sear until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour in the beef broth, add thyme and bay leaves, then bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for about 120 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with sourdough bread slices and Gruyère cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
Notes
For the best flavor, use homemade beef broth. Be patient while caramelizing the onions as it enhances sweetness.
