Short Rib Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the ribs on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

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

  3. 3

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the browned short ribs to the pot. Add beef broth, red wine, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Meat

    Once the short ribs are tender, remove them from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Discard any excess fat.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the shredded meat to the pot to warm through. Place American cheese slices on top of the meat and cover until melted.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the hoagie rolls and spread mayonnaise on each half. Fill with the cheesy short rib mixture and top with sliced pickles.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches while hot and enjoy!
