Ingredients:

• 500 grams beef ribs
• 1 bunch broccoli
• 2 large potatoes
• 1 large carrot
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 7 cloves
• 7 garlic cloves
• 3 shallots
• Sugar, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• Water, as needed
• 1 packet beef seasoning (e.g., Royco beef seasoning)
• Oil, for sautéing
• 1 stalk green onion (daun pre)
• 1 stalk celery (daun seledri)
• 1 cm ginger

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Ribs: Rinse the beef ribs thoroughly under running water. Place them in a large pot, add enough water to cover the ribs, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the ribs are tender. For a richer broth, you can keep the first batch of broth instead of discarding it, as it will have a deeper flavor.

2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the ribs are cooking, peel and cut the potatoes and carrot into bite-sized pieces. Cut the broccoli into florets and set aside.

3. Sauté the Aromatics: Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic. Slice the ginger into thin strips. In a pan, heat a small amount of oil and add the shallots, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Sauté until fragrant. Add the ground cardamom and nutmeg, and continue to cook for another minute.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed aromatics to the pot with the beef ribs. Stir in the beef seasoning and adjust the salt and sugar to taste. Continue to cook until the ribs are tender and the flavors are well combined.

5. Add Vegetables: Once the beef ribs are tender, add the potatoes, carrot, and broccoli to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender.

6. Final Touches: Add the chopped green onion and celery to the pot for added freshness and flavor. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes, allowing all the ingredients to meld together.

7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful Beef Rib Soup with some crusty bread or steamed rice.

This recipe is a delightful way to enjoy a classic, comforting dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
