In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the beef ribs, 2 liters of water, the chopped scallions (reserving some green tops), and the smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 15-20 minutes. Continue to simmer for at least 45 minutes, or until the beef ribs are becoming tender.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 3
Add the cubed potatoes to the simmering broth. Continue to cook, covered, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 4
Season the caldo generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and let it simmer for a final 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls, ensuring each serving gets a portion of beef ribs and potatoes. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro and the reserved green parts of the scallions.
