👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef ribs, quartered onion, and crushed garlic. Cover with 3-4 liters of cold water, ensuring the beef is fully submerged. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1.5 hours. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 30 minutes of simmering. The beef should be starting to tenderize.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes - 2
Add the prepared yuca and ocumo to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the broth. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 45 minutes, or until the root vegetables are fork-tender but not mushy.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 3
Add the corn sections to the pot. Stir in the tied bunch of cilantro. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the corn to cook through and the flavors to meld. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove and discard the onion quarters and the cilantro bunch before serving.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 4
Ladle the hot soup into large bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of beef, yuca, ocumo, and corn. Serve immediately, traditionally accompanied by white rice and slices of ripe avocado.
