Beef Rib Soup (Sup Iga Sapi) Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams beef ribs
  • 3 carrots, washed, peeled, and cut into chunks
  • 2 medium potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into chunks
  • 1 tomato, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 onion, finely sliced
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, finely sliced
  • 5 cardamom pods
  • 3 cloves (optional, can be skipped)
  • 1 cm cinnamon stick
  • To taste: Nutmeg
  • 1 cm piece ginger, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • To taste: Beef bouillon powder
  • To taste: Water
  • To taste: Salt, sugar

Spice Paste:

  • 5 shallots
  • 3 cloves garlic

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef Ribs:

    • In a large pot, bring water to a boil and briefly blanch the beef ribs. Discard the water to remove impurities. This step helps to clarify the broth. Drain the ribs and set aside.
    • Refill the pot with fresh water, bring it to a boil again, and simmer the beef ribs until they are tender and fully cooked. This can take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the size of the ribs and your stove’s heat level.
  2. Prepare the Spice Paste:

    • While the beef ribs are cooking, prepare the spice paste by grinding the shallots and garlic together until smooth.
  3. Cook the Soup:

    • Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the spice paste, finely sliced onion, and crushed ginger until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
    • Once the beef ribs are tender, add the sautéed spice paste to the pot. Then, add the carrots and potatoes. Stir well to combine and cook for a few minutes.
    • Add the cardamom pods, cloves (if using), cinnamon stick, nutmeg, ground pepper, salt, sugar, and beef bouillon powder. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
    • Stir everything together and continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked through.
  4. Finish and Serve:

    • Add the tomato wedges, sliced green onions, and celery. Cook until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded together.
    • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
    • Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods before serving.
  5. Enjoy:

    • Serve hot, and enjoy the aromatic and flavorful broth that will surely tantalize your taste buds. The combination of spices creates a rich, savory soup that is perfect for any occasion.

Note:

For an extra touch of flavor, you can garnish the soup with fresh cilantro or additional sliced green onions before serving. The soup’s delightful aroma and rich taste make it a comforting and satisfying dish, ideal for warming up on a chilly day.
