Ingredients:
- 1 kg beef bones
- 2 carrots
- 1 potato
- Green beans
- Cabbage
- Celery leaves
Ground Spice Ingredients:
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 7 shallots
- Pepper
- Salt
Steps:
- Prepare the Beef Bones: Start by boiling the beef bones in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes. This will ensure the meat is tender and the broth is rich.
- Sauté the Ground Spices: In a separate pan, sauté the ground spices (garlic, shallots, pepper, and salt) until fragrant. Then, add these aromatic spices to the pot of boiled beef bones.
- Add the Vegetables: Chop the carrots, potato, green beans, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Add these vegetables to the pressure cooker with the beef bones and broth. Stir gently and cook on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add the celery leaves and additional salt to taste.
- Spicy Option: For those who enjoy a spicy kick, boil some bird’s eye chilies and tomatoes separately. Once boiled, grind them into a sambal (spicy chili paste) and serve in a separate bowl.
- Serve: Ladle the hearty beef bone vegetable soup into bowls and, if desired, add a spoonful of the spicy sambal. Enjoy the robust and comforting flavors of this nutritious soup.
This hearty beef bone vegetable soup is perfect for a nourishing meal that combines tender meat with wholesome vegetables. The added option of a spicy sambal makes it customizable to your taste, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
