Beef and Marinade
- 1 kg beef shank (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 pinch salt
Vegetables
- 1 cup celery (chopped)
- 1 cup tomato (diced)
- 2 potato (peeled and cut into small pieces)
- 2 carrot (peeled and cut into small pieces)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 clove garlic
Broth and Thickening
- 6 cup water (or enough water to cover the ingredients)
- 3 tablespoon flour
- Pan-frying beef: Pan-fry the beef pieces in olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until they are lightly browned. If the beef releases excess water, dry it thoroughly before adding oil to ensure proper browning.
- Slow-cook the stew: Transfer the browned beef to a large pot and add all the chopped vegetables along with pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and enough water to cover the ingredients completely. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for two hours, adding water as needed to keep ingredients submerged.
- Thickening the soup and adding salt: Dissolve the flour in half a cup of water to create a slurry, then stir this mixture into the simmering soup. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the stew thickens. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as desired before serving.
Notes
- Dry the beef pieces properly before frying if they release excess water to achieve better browning.
- The amount of liquid may vary depending on how tightly the pot lid is sealed; add more water during slow cooking if necessary.
- Feel free to adjust the quantities of beef and vegetables; just balance the seasoning for best results.
