Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds beef shank, with bone
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups beef broth
4 cups water
2 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 potato, quartered
2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
2 chayotes, quartered
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, cut into wedges
4 radishes, quartered

Steps:

  • Cut the meat from the beef bones into about 1/2 inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
  • Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add the meat and bones, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
  • Add 1 onion, and cook until onion is also lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes and broth. The liquid should cover the bones by 1/2 inch. If not, add enough water to compensate. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour with the lid on loosely. If meat is not tender, continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so.
  • Pour in the water, and return to a simmer. Add the carrot and 1/4 cup cilantro, and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the potato, corn and chayote. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Push the cabbage wedges into the soup, and cook for about 10 more minutes.
  • Ladle soup into large bowls, including meat vegetables and bones. Garnish with jalapenos, minced onion, and additional cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over all, and serve with radishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs are all good options for this soup. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop the soup's rich color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and corn. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, zucchini, or green beans.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth. You can also add spices and herbs to the broth to give it more flavor.
  • Cook the soup on low heat: The soup should be cooked on low heat for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve the soup with toppings: Serve the soup with toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, or avocado. This will add extra flavor and texture to the soup.

Conclusion:

This slow-cooked Mexican beef soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tender beef, flavorful broth, and fresh vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
