CHINESE BEEF SHANK SOUP RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Marinating the beef: in the previously two days before making this dish, cut the long log into 3 sections and spread salt on the surface and then massage. Set aside for 2 or 1 day (at least overnight) with a weight on top.
• Clean the beef shank: before cooking your beef shank, rinse under running water to clean and then place them in a large pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boiling and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Transfer out and clean with warm water.
• Soak all the spices with around 1/2 cup of boiling hot water for around 10 minutes. Drain and wrap all of them in a clean glaze bag and seal with cotton lines.
• Add beef shank in a cast iron pot; add leek onion, spring onion, shallots and sugar. Pour in soy sauce and enough beef stock to cover.
• Bring to boil and then simmer for at least 60 minutes to 90 minutes. Then remove from heat and soak overnight.
• Slice it thinly and serve directly or with dips (note1)

Steps:

• Combine water and beef in a large pot. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Let stand, about 15 minutes.
• Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 1 hour. Add carrots; simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Add potatoes, green bell pepper, and parsley. Simmer until potatoes are tender and beef falls easily off the bone, about 20 minutes. Remove beef with a slotted spoon. Remove bones, chop beef, and return to the pot.
