After eating restaurant food for 3 consecutive days, I started craving for a Filipino dish. This is the perfect dish that satisfied my craving. It is a comfort food.
It needs long hours to cook but it is so easy to prepare. Throw the ingredients in the pot, let the stove do its job, wait and be patient and voila...a meal that's worth the wait!
2 lbs beef shank, cut into 1 1/2 cubes
1/2 lb green beans
4 med potatoes, quartered
1 bunch bokchoy
1 whole head garlic, peeled
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 tbs kosher salt
1 tsp peppercorn
1 tsp patis (fish sauce)
2 cubes (3.7 g) beef bouillon (I use wyler's)
8 cups of water
1. Combine beef, garlic, onion, peppercorn, salt and water in a big pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours or until beef is tender. Skim the fat as it is simmering.
2. Return to a boil and add the patis and beef bouillon. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
3. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the green beans and bokchoy and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
4. Serve with hot rice.
