SHORT RIB SANDWICH

Steps:

• To begin, gather and prep all of your short rib sandwich ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.
• Preheat your oven to 325°.
• Place the beef short ribs into a bowl and season with a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper.
• Place a Dutch oven or large braising pan over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is very hot, add the ribs in and allow them to sear and brown on that first side (about 4 minutes), then flip and brown on the other side, a few minutes more. Remove from the pan and set aside for a moment.
• Drain some of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons. Add the onions and saute those until lightly golden and softened, about 5 minutes, then add in the garlic, and stir.
• Once the garlic becomes aromatic, stir in the tomato paste, cooking it for about 30 seconds. Then add in the stout, the beef stock, and the BBQ sauce, and stir to combine.
• Nestle the short ribs back into the sauce, and bring to a simmer. Cover with the lid, and place into the oven to braise for about 2 1/2 hours, or until fork tender and meat is falling from bone.
• While the short ribs braise, gather and prep your coleslaw ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.
• To prepare your coleslaw, combine the mayo with the remaining ingredients up to and including the salt, and whisk until smooth. Add the coleslaw mix into a bowl, and drizzle the dressing over top, and toss to combine. Keep cold.
• Once the short ribs are tender, carefully remove them from the pan, and once cool enough to handle, shred the meat with a fork, and set aside for a moment.
• Puree the sauce that's left in the pan with an immersion blender, then place back over medium to medium-low heat, and gently simmer the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Return the shredded short ribs into the sauce and fold to combine.
• To assemble the short rib sandwiches, spread a touch of mayo on the top and bottom bun, then add some of the shredded meat with sauce, top with some of the coleslaw, and serve.

SHORT RIB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.Salt and pepper the short ribs. In a heavy pot, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides over about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Reduce heat to medium high. Add onions, carrots, and garlic and stir to start cooking. After a minute or two, pour in the wine and broth and stir to combine. Set the short ribs back in the pot, put on the lid, and place in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until short ribs are tender and literally falling off the bone.If you have time, allow them to cool, then store in the fridge for several hours so the fat will congeal on top. Once it's hard, remove it with a spoon and discard (some of the juice and a few pieces of onion and carrot will come out with the fat, but that's okay.) Reheat on the stovetop, then shred the short ribs. Toast the baguette until warm, then split down the middle. Spoon the short rib meat down the length of the baguette, then spoon the veggies and some sauce over the top. Place the top of the baguette on top, then slice sandwich into pieces with a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately!(If you don't have time to refrigerate, you may skim as much fat off as you can, then just shred the short ribs immediately and serve as above.)Variation: Melt brie cheese on top of the sandwich!

GRILLED CHEESE AND PULLED SHORT RIBS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt about 1 tbs of the butter and 1 tbs of olive oil in skillet. Cook sliced onions until golden brown and starting to caramelize. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, warm your pulled short rib meat just enough to take the chill off of it if you have been storing it the fridge. Toss pulled short rib meat in just enough BBQ sauce or Italian dressing to give it a light coat. You don't want it to be dripping with wetness and overpower the flavors that are already there. This step is optional for those who wish to enhance the flavor of the meat, if desired.
• With skillet at a medium-low heat, or panini maker ready to go, place sliced bread, butter side down, and then begin to build your sandwich by placing sliced cheese, caramelized onions, a generous portion of pulled short ribs, sliced cheese again if desired, and finally top it with another slice of bread, buttered side up this time.
• If using a skillet you might want to use a press on your sandwich. Cook sandwich to desired shade of golden brown on each side; 3 to 4 minutes per side using skillet, about 4 minutes on panini maker (depending on your heat settings and/or panini maker).
• Place completed sandwiches in a warm oven on a stone or pan to keep warm while cooking other sandwiches.
