4 pounds beef short ribs

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

1 cup flour

1/4 cup olive oil

1 large onion (diced)

2 carrots (peeled and diced)

4 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)

1 cup red wine

14 ounces diced tomatoes (or 1 can)

4 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)

2 tablespoons fresh thyme (minced)

4 tablespoons butter

4 onions (thinly slices)

1 loaf French baguette (sliced and toasted)

8 ounces Gruyere cheese (or substitute, shredded)

1 section thyme (fresh)

Upute

Preheat oven to 325º. Season short ribs with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Cook short ribs in the oil until golden brown and crusty; about four minutes per side. Remove from oil and put on plate. Set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and cook onions and carrots in leftover fat from ribs. Cook for five minutes. Add garlic and saute for one minute then add red wine, tomatoes, broth, herbs and short ribs. Cover with lid and place in oven.

Prepare the Caramelized Onions

While meat is in the oven, melt the butter and slice and saute the 4 onions until caramelized; doing it slowly for about 20-30 minutes. Remove pot of meat from the oven and stir in caramelized onions, return pot to oven and continue cooking for remainder of time until meat falls off the bones.

Remove meat and place on a dish to cool; once cooled remove and cut the meat into serving sizes.

Refrigerate the pot (overnight is great if possible) until the fat has hardened on top and the flavors have had time to meld. Using a large spoon, remove the solid fat on top and discard.

To Serve

Warm the pot with meat and vegetables over medium low heat.

Top toasted French bread with butter, a sprinkling of Gruyere cheese and thyme. Toast until cheese melts; set aside..

Portion soup into oven safe bowls. Top the beef with shredded cheese and broil for approximately 3-5 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly. Watch closely! Serve with slices of toasted French bread.
