Tips:

Use high-quality beef. The better the quality of the beef, the better the caldo de res will be. Look for beef that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
Brown the beef before cooking. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and give the caldo a richer color.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to the caldo. Some good vegetables to include are carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and tomatoes.
Season the caldo well. Mexican oregano, cumin, and chili powder are all good spices to use. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer the caldo for at least an hour. This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
Serve the caldo with your favorite toppings. Some good options include chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, and lime wedges.
