Instructions

Slice the onions and cut the beef short ribs into manageable pieces.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
Push onions aside, add short ribs, and sear until browned on all sides (5-7 minutes).
Pour in beef broth, add thyme and bay leaves, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with sourdough slices and Gruyère cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

For richer flavor, use homemade beef broth.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with extra crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth.
