Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef neck bones
  • 1 lb beef for stew ((beef chuck roast, see notes))
  • 2 cups onion (finely diced (about 1 large onion))
  • 2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6-7 cups water
  • 1/2 head of cabbage
  • 1 kamote (sweet potato)
  • 3 carrots (cut in 1 inch pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute kosher salt)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the beef neck bones and stew meat with onion, peppercorns, salt and water in the pressure cooker. Place the cover on the pressure cooker, and pressure cook on high for 30 minutes, until the meat is absolutely tender and falling off the bones.

  2. 2

    In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat beef neck bones and stew meat with onion, peppercorns, salt and water over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and cover, allowing to simmer for several hours, until the meat is absolutely tender and falling off the bones. If necessary, skim any foam from the broth. If you wish, cook the broth in advance and refrigerate. Any solidified fat will be easier to skim.
