1. Prepare the Beef Ribs:

   • Begin by thoroughly washing the beef ribs. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 5-10 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the ribs, discard the water, and rinse the ribs again to remove any impurities.

2. Cook the Beef Ribs:

   • Refill the pot with 2 liters of water and return the cleaned ribs to the pot. Bring the water to a boil and let it simmer until the beef ribs become tender. This may take some time, so be patient for the perfect texture.

3. Prepare the Spice Mix:

   • While the ribs are cooking, finely slice the shallots, garlic, onion, green chilies, red chilies, and red bird’s eye chilies.

4. Sauté the Spices:

   • Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced spices and sauté until they become fragrant and the raw smell dissipates. Once done, transfer the sautéed spices into the pot with the beef ribs.

5. Add Tomatoes and Chilies:

   • Cut the underripe tomatoes into wedges and add them to the pot. Also, add the whole bird’s eye chilies for an extra kick.

6. Season the Dish:

   • Season the soup with salt, sugar, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together and infuse into the tender beef ribs.

7. Final Touches:

   • Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Once satisfied with the flavor, turn off the heat.

8. Serve:

   • Transfer the Asem-Asem Beef Ribs to a serving dish and enjoy it warm. This dish is perfect as a hearty, comforting meal.

Serve this tangy and spicy Asem-Asem Beef Ribs with steamed rice or enjoy it on its own. The rich flavors and tender meat are sure to make this a favorite in your culinary repertoire.
