Step-by-Step Instructions

Sear the Short Ribs in olive oil until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Caramelize the onions in butter, stirring often for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Add minced garlic, then deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits for depth.
Combine short ribs, beef broth, carrots, celery, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours.
Shred the meat and strain the broth if desired. Return shredded meat to the pot.
Prepare Gruyère toasts by broiling baguette slices topped with cheese until bubbly and golden.
Serve soup in bowls, topping with Gruyère toasts. Enjoy the comforting flavors.
