Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Braise the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Braise

    Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the beef broth and demi-glace. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 3 hours or until the meat is tender.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toasted Bread

    While the beef is cooking, toast the slices of house bread until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Once the short ribs are done, shred the meat and place it on the toasted bread. Top with sliced Gruyère cheese, roasted red peppers, a dollop of whole grain mustard, and drizzle with some of the braising liquid.
