Ingredients

  • 500 grams beef ribs
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 dried date
  • 4 dried mushrooms (soaked and sliced thinly)
  • Fresh celery leaves (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Optional: seasoning (if desired; not used in this recipe)

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the beef ribs. Cut them into manageable pieces and let them drain.

  2. In a large pot, bring approximately 2 liters of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the beef ribs to the pot.

  3. Reduce the heat and allow the beef ribs to simmer for about 2 hours. This slow cooking process helps to develop a rich and deep flavor.

  4. While the beef is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Break the dried date into smaller pieces. After soaking the dried mushrooms, slice them thinly.

  5. After 1 hour of simmering, add the carrots, dried date, and dried mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer for the remaining hour.

  6. Once the beef is tender and the flavors have melded, season the soup with salt to taste. You can also add optional seasoning if you prefer.

  7. Before serving, stir in the fresh celery leaves for a burst of freshness.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this traditional Sup Iga Sapi.

This hearty beef rib soup is perfect for a comforting meal and is sure to warm you up on a chilly day.
