Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Slow Cook the Short Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove the short ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent. Return the short ribs to the skillet and add enough water to cover the ribs. Simmer on low heat for about 3 hours until tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare Saffron Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, saffron, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Shred the Meat

    Once the short ribs are cooked, shred the meat using two forks, discarding any excess fat.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sliders

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spread saffron aioli on the bottom half of each bun, add a generous amount of shredded short rib meat, and top with pickled vegetables. Place the top half of the bun over the filling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sliders warm with a side of additional pickled vegetables.
