Description
A bold fusion recipe combining Bloody Mary braised short ribs with creamy vanilla ice cream in a gourmet sandwich. This viral culinary masterpiece balances sweet, savory, and spicy flavors for an unforgettable dining experience.
Ingredients
2 lbs beef short ribs, bone-in
2 cups Bloody Mary mix (high quality)
1 cup beef broth
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pint vanilla ice cream (premium quality)
8 slices brioche bread or potato bread
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil for searing
Instructions
1. Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat
3. Sear short ribs until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side
4. Remove ribs and set aside, keeping the pan with drippings
5. Add chopped onions to the same pan and cook until soft, about 5 minutes
6. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant
7. Pour in Bloody Mary mix and beef broth, scraping up browned bits from bottom
8. Return short ribs to pot, cover and reduce heat to low
9. Braise for 2-3 hours until meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone
10. Remove ribs and shred the meat, discarding bones and excess fat
11. Return shredded meat to braising liquid and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes
12. Let mixture cool completely to room temperature
13. Slightly soften ice cream by leaving at room temperature for 10 minutes
14. Assemble sandwiches by spreading ice cream on bread, adding warm short rib mixture, and topping with second slice
15. Serve immediately or wrap individually and freeze for up to 24 hours
Notes
Allow braised meat to cool completely before assembling to prevent ice cream from melting too quickly
Use a serrated bread knife to cut sandwiches cleanly without squishing
For best results, use high-quality Bloody Mary mix with natural spices
Leftover braised short rib can be stored in refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for 2 months
