Ingredients:
- 500-700 grams of beef bones or short ribs
- 1500 ml water
- 5 bay leaves
- 3 segments of galangal, crushed

- 6 shallots, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef Bones: Begin by boiling or pressure-cooking the beef bones with bay leaves and crushed galangal until tender. Once the bones are tender, allow them to cool. When the bones are cool enough to handle, remove any floating fat that has accumulated on the surface of the broth.
-
Reheat the Broth: Transfer the beef bones and the broth to a pot and heat it gently.
-
Add Spices: Add the sliced shallots, sliced garlic, chopped green tomatoes, and whole bird’s eye chilies directly into the pot with the beef bones. There’s no need to sauté these spices beforehand; simply add them to the pot.
-
Season: Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt, sugar, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
-
Serve: Once all the flavors have melded together and the broth has heated through, your Asem Asem Tulang Sapi is ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful, tangy beef bone soup with steamed rice or on its own as a comforting meal.
This recipe provides a delightful balance of savory and tangy flavors with a kick of heat from the bird’s eye chilies, offering a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for any occasion.
