Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Ribs: Place the beef ribs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
- Clean the Pot: Drain, rinse the ribs, and clean the pot to remove impurities.
- Cook the Soup: Return the cleaned ribs to the pot with 8 cups of fresh water. Add the apple, carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2–2.5 hours, skimming foam as needed.
- Season the Soup: Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Discard solids if preferred, or leave chunks for a hearty soup. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a clearer broth, strain the soup and serve just the liquid with the beef and vegetables.
- Fuji or Gala apples work well for natural sweetness.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
