Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by cutting the beef into small cubes and prepping the vegetables: slice the carrots, dice the potato, chop the cabbage, and slice the celery. Set aside.
-
Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of cooking oil or margarine over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden.
-
Fry Red Onions:
- Add the sliced red onions to the pot and fry until they are softened and lightly browned. This will add a rich flavor base to your soup.
-
Cook the Beef:
- Add the cubed beef to the pot and cook until the meat is browned on all sides. Pour in enough water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the beef is tender, which should take about 1-1.5 hours. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during cooking.
-
Add Vegetables:
- Once the beef is tender, add the diced potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked through.
-
Season the Soup:
- Stir in the crushed black peppercorns and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
Finish the Soup:
- Add the tomato wedges, celery slices, and chopped green onions to the pot. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fried shallots for added crunch and flavor.
Enjoy this hearty and flavorful Sayur Sop Daging Sapi, a perfect example of Indonesian comfort food that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
