Bacon Jam

Assembly

Method

Braised Short Rib

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Rib

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large oven-proof pot, season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. Sear them on all sides until browned, then remove from the pot.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the beef broth and thyme, then return the short ribs to the pot.

  4. 4

    Braise

    Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Braise for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

  5. 5

    Shred the Meat

    Remove the short ribs from the pot and shred the meat, discarding any bones and excess fat. Set aside.

Beet Relish

  1. 6

    Mix the Relish

    In a bowl, combine the roasted beets, red onion, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Bacon Jam

  1. 7

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 8

    Sauté Onion

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened.

  3. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet along with brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. 10

    Blend the Jam

    Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until it reaches a jam-like consistency.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Build the Burger

    Toast burger buns if desired. Layer each bun with shredded short rib, beet relish, a generous spoonful of bacon jam, and a slice of vintage cheddar cheese. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
