Soup! – God’s gift to comfort food 🙂
I wonder how many different soups I have eaten in my life and how many different noodle soups in particular. And still, I never get tired of preparing and eating yet another version of this wonderful food category. Soup, to me, never get’s old. To the contrary, I can never get enough of it, be it cream soup, purred soup, clear soup, soup made of meat, seafood, vegetables, fruit or any combination thereof, hot or cold. So without further ado, here is my latest concoction:

Short Rib Sandwich

Often when we use leftovers, if we just add a bit of imagination and love, the resulting dish can be at least as enjoyable as the original and sometimes even better. This was surely the case here. The original Beef Short Rib’s Braised In Merlot were a wonderful dish, but the leftovers were just as tasty and satisfying, with some added spices and flavors, served on a toasted kaiser roll with salad in dijon vinaigrette, they took on a whole new personality. Good Stuff 🙂

Beef Short Rib’s Braised In Merlot

The other day my friend Leo invited me for short rib’s Argentinian Style ( Tira De Asado), grilled slowly over wood coal, seasoned with just some kosher salt and served with a hearty bread and chimichurri.
While I love to eat the rib’s prepared this way, I like them even more done the classical German and French way: Braised with vegetables in red wine.
As usual, please cook them until very tender but NOT falling off the bone. In my humble opinion, anything falling off the bone is overcooked and it’s texture ruined.
