Braised Short Rib Sandwich Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Searing the Short Ribs

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Caramelizing Onions

   In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Braising the Ribs

   Return the short ribs to the pot, add beef broth and BBQ sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 3 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

4. 4

   Preparing the Horseradish Mayo

   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and horseradish sauce until well combined. Set aside.

5. 5

   Assembling the Sandwiches

   Once the ribs are done, remove them from the pot and shred the meat. Toast the ciabatta rolls if desired. Spread the horseradish mayo on the inside of the rolls, layer with shredded short ribs, caramelized onions, and top with grated Manchego cheese. Serve immediately.
