Short Rib Preparation

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Short Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Short Ribs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Stir in the brown sugar and smoked paprika.

  4. 4

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily fall off the bone.

  5. 5

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the liquid and let cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks. Discard any excess fat.

  6. 6

    Reduce the Sauce

    Increase the heat to medium-high and reduce the cooking liquid until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise. If desired, lightly toast the insides.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer shredded short rib on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Top with provolone cheese, arugula, and a drizzle of horseradish sauce. Add pickled jalapeños to taste.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Place the top half of the hoagie roll over the fillings, slice the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately.
