  • ½ Vidalia onion, diced
  • ¼ cup roasted garlic
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika

  • salt and pepper

preparation

Recipe Credit: Rebecca Mitchel of Stuf’d

1. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Add oil to the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes per side in a sauté pan on high heat. Place the short ribs in a slow cooker.

2. Dice and cook the onion in the same pan. Add the beer to the pan and reduce while stirring for 5-10 minutes.

3. Add the onion and beer reduction, roasted garlic, and seasonings to the crock pot. Turn on low for 12 hours.

4. Remove the short ribs from the crock pot, pull them, and add some of the sauce to keep them juicy!

5. Grate the Havarti, prepare the blackberry compote and horseradish aioli if you want to make them yourself. Unfortunately, these are secret recipes that we keep to ourselves! *

6. Time to assemble the sandwich: cut the bread in half lengthwise so you can fill it. You can try to coat your own pan challah or brioche bread yourself, but our bread is our own secret recipe, too! * From bottom to top, spread 1 tbsp of the blackberry compote to the sandwich bread, add 1/4 cup arugula, 5 oz pulled short ribs, 1 oz grated Havarti, and add 1/2 oz Horseradish aioli to the inside of the top slice of the sandwich bread.

7. Cook the sandwich! We like to cook our sandwiches on a hot grill, but you can cook it in a pan over high heat for about 1 minute per side or until the bread starts to get nice and toasty! Time to enjoy and #getstufd!
