Follow The Directions
01
StepBlanch the Beef: In a large pot, submerge the beef short ribs in enough water to cover. Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat and boil for 5 minutes to release impurities. (5 minutes)
02
StepDrain the water and discard.
03
StepBuild the Broth: Return the ribs to the pot. Pour in 1 quart of fresh water, and then add the chopped onions, crushed black peppercorns, and beef bouillon cubes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld. (1 hour)
04
StepAdd Vegetables: Skim off any fat that has risen to the surface of the broth. Stir in the quartered potatoes, chayote squash, carrots, and celery. Cover the pot again and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
05
StepFinal Touches: Season the stew with salt to taste. Add the cabbage wedges and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still retain some crispness. (5 minutes)
