Beef Bone Soup

Beef Bone Soup is a rich and nourishing dish, showcasing the deep flavors of simmered beef bones infused with aromatic herbs and spices. This low-carb Chinese soup is perfect for a comforting meal that warms the soul.

Ingredients

• Beef marrow bones - 500 grams
• Water - 1.5 liters
• Garlic cloves - 3, minced
• Ginger - 20 grams, sliced
• Spring onions - 2, chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Star anise - 1 whole
• Black peppercorns - 5
• Salt - to taste
• Cilantro - 10 grams, for garnish

Steps

1. In a large pot, place the beef marrow bones and cover them with 1.5 liters of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. This helps to keep the broth clear.
3. Add minced garlic, sliced ginger, chopped spring onions, soy sauce, star anise, and black peppercorns to the pot.
4. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the bones to release their nutrients.
5. After 2 hours, check the broth for seasoning and add salt to taste.
6. Strain the soup into bowls, discarding the solids, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
