Short Rib Grilled Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear them in a hot skillet until browned on all sides. Add the ribs to a slow cooker with a bit of beef broth and cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grilled Cheese

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side, layer pimento cheese, shredded short rib meat, candied jalapeños, and pickled onions. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the sandwich in half and serve it hot with a side of crispy French fries.
