Grilledcheeseandpulledshortribssandwich Recipes

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.

Steps:

• For the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Trim excess fat and sliverskin from the short ribs and then slice between the bones. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet and sear the short ribs, working in batches.
• Transfer the ribs to a hotel pan or roasting pan. Add the cola, soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, green onions, ginger and 2 cups water. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Braise for 4 hours, until tender. Shred the short ribs.
• For the onion jam: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and honey, and deglaze with the red wine. Stir in the salt, pepper and balsamic. Cook until reduced to a jam consistency. Chop in a food processor.
• For the grilled cheese: Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Toast the sourdough slices and then spread them with the butter. Place five of the buttered slices on the griddle; divide the American, cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly among them. Top each with 5 heaping tablespoons of the shredded short ribs and 1 tablespoon of the onion jam. Cover with a second slice of the toasted bread and cook until the cheeses have melted. Slice in half and serve with marinara sauce, for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and generously butter the top sides of each slice. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet; swirl around to coat the pan.
• Lay 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Put a few slices of the cheese on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with a few more slices of cheese. Top with 2 of the remaining slices of bread, placed buttered-side up. Cook, without pressing, until the bread browns and the cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula and add a small hazelnut-size piece of butter to the pan. Cook slowly, adjusting the heat as needed to melt the cheese completely before the sandwiches are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches. Serve.

Steps:

• For the short ribs: Stir short ribs, soy sauce, mirin, garlic powder, garlic, thyme and 4 cups cold water together in a pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook until the meat is very tender, about 4 hours.
• Strain the short ribs from the liquid and put the meat in a mixing bowl. Before it cools, grab tongs and shred it. Return the meat to the liquid.
• For the pickled red onions: Meanwhile, combine vinegar, salt, sugar and 3 cups water in a pot over high heat. Put onions in a heat-safe container. Once the pickling liquid comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and pour it over the onions. Make sure you use a container that will cover the red onions completely with the liquid; weigh down the onions with a plate if necessary. Let it sit at room temp so the color bleeds out from the red onions, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate. (Pickled onions can be used as soon as they are cold, but they are best after at least 3 days.)
• For the purgatory crema: Combine sour cream, lemon and lime juices, mirin and vinegar in a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth.
• For the grilled cheese: Preheat a toaster oven or regular oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread purgatory crema on both sides of the slices of bread, then put down mozzarella on one side and Cheddar on the other. Bake until the cheese melts. Meanwhile, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the short rib and some pickled red onions to the bread and sandwich them together. Add a bit of oil to the pan, then put the sandwich in the pan. Grill until crispy golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• In a small, heavy skillet heat 1/2 tablespoons of the butteer over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in it saute' the chicken, turning it once, for 12 to 15 minutes, or it is springy to the touch and just cooked through, and on a work surface shred the chicken.
• In a small bowl combine well the mayonnaise, the ketchup, and salt and pepper to taste, divide the mixture among the bread slices, spreading it, and top it with the Swiss cheese. Divide the pickle and onion slices between 2 of the half-sandwiches, top them with the chicken, and cover the chicken, with the remaining half-sandwiches.
• In a small shallow disk whisk together the egg, milk, and salt and pepper to taste, press each sandwich together firmly, and dip the sandwiches, one at a time, in the egg mixture, turning them to coat them thoroughly. In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining butter over moderate heat until the foam subsides and in it cook the sandwiches, covered, for 4 minutes or until the undersides are a golden brown. Transfer the sandwiches to plates, halve them with a serrated knife, and garnish them with the whole picklesd, cut lengthwise into fan shapes.

Steps:

• For the sachet:
• For the sachet, wrap the parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a small amount of cheesecloth and tie with butcher's twine.
• For pulled short ribs:
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Beginning with a large saucepan or braising pan with a lid, heat the tablespoon of grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs on either side until caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan. Add the carrot and celery to the pan and cook for 5 minutes over the same heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook together until caramelized, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally as needed. Add the short ribs back to the pan and deglaze with the red wine. Add the sachet and, stirring from time to time, allow the wine to reduce until almost evaporated, about 6 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and bring the braise up to a boil. Put the lid on and place in the oven for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• After the first 2 hours of cooking time, remove the lid. For the next hour, baste the short ribs every 15 minutes, leaving the lid off. Cook for an additional hour, until very tender, for a total of 4 hours cooking time.
• Pull the short ribs from the oven and allow them to cool in the braising juices for at least a few hours. Carefully transfer the meat to a plate and strain the juices through a fine sieve, then allow the fat to rise. Remove the fat. Using a dinner fork in each hand, lightly shred the meat along the natural grains in a pulling motion from the center outward, and set aside.
• To prepare each sandwich, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F.
• Take 2 slices of bread. On the bottom slice, place a layer of cheese (you'll want approximately 1 1/2 ounces for each sandwich, just enough to cover the bread to the edges), then top with 1 teaspoon of pickled red onion, spread to the sides. Place 1/4 cup of the pulled short ribs on top, add another layer of cheese, and top with the second slice of bread. Brush each completed sandwich on top and bottom with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
• In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil and allow it to get nice and hot. Place 2 sandwiches in at a time and flip so they will absorb the oil on both sides. Weight them down with a small sauté pan. After 1 minute, flip the sandwiches, return the weight, and place directly in the oven.
• After 2 minutes, remove the weight. Flip the sandwich one final time, and cook for 1 final minute. Pull from the oven, slice diagonally, and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except bread and butter in a medium bowl.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread.
• Put sandwiches together using about 1/2 cup of filling each.
• Place buttered side of bread on the outside of sandwich.
• Toast on griddle or in skillet until a deep golden brown. Make sure you cook this slowly over low to med-low heat, so that the inside has a chance to melt before the outside gets too done. Kick up the heat when it gets going.
• *Depending on the size of your bread, this makes 6-10 sandwiches.
