Main Ingredients

Grilled Onion

Sauce

Method

Preparing the Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Grilling the Onions

  1. 3

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into thick rings.

  2. 4

    Grill the Onions

    In the same skillet used for the ribs, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add the onion rings and season with salt and black pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are caramelized and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Deglaze with Sherry

    In the skillet, pour in the sherry and scrape the bottom to deglaze, letting it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Beef Jus

    Pour in the beef jus and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Place the seared short ribs on a serving platter, drizzle with the reduced sauce, and top with grilled onions. Serve warm.
