Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Braised Short Ribs

    Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize Onions

    In the same pot, add sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside with the short ribs.

  3. 3

    Braising

    Add beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Return short ribs and onions to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  4. 4

    Prepare Macaroni

    Cook macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Shred the braised short ribs and mix them with the cooked macaroni and cheese sauce.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Short Rib Mac N' Cheese!
