Method

Beef Short Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braise the Short Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot, add beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Remove the beef from the pot and shred with forks. Strain the broth and reserve for serving.

Horseradish Chive Aioli

  1. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, horseradish, chopped chives, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Chill until ready to use.

Fried Onions

  1. 6

    Fry the Onions

    Soak the sliced onions in buttermilk for 30 minutes. Dredge in flour mixed with salt, then fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the Portuguese buns, then layer with shredded beef, a smear of grainy mustard, a dollop of horseradish chive aioli, and top with fried onions. Serve with the reserved broth for dipping.
