F.O.B. Fridays ~ Beef Bulalo

I started something new some time ago on my Instagram account, as my schedule permits, Fridays I feature "Fresh Off the Burner" {hence F.O.B. not fresh off the boat okay LOL} dishes I just cook, it is real time food served and photographed as soon as it's cooked! Unfortunately I haven't posted the previous dishes on my blog so this is the first. Hope ya'll LIKE!

Ingredients:

1 pack beef shank (approx. 3 lbs)

half  medium onion

8-10 garlic cloves, slice 5 pieces into halves

1/4 cup fish sauce (patis) I used the Vietnamese brand  Nuoc Mam Nhi Phu Quoc "Flying Lion"

1 tsp pimienta negra entera

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 beef cube
 *optional - veggies of choice. I used baby bok choy and chopped green onions to top.

• in a 5 qt. pot place beef shank in, cover with water and bring to a boil on high heat, then simmer for 30 minutes. This helps eliminate the grayish protein that floats to the top. Skim this. When done, remove & rinse meat and the pot, then redo this process.
• filling the pot again with water covering the meat and bringing to a boil on high heat. Once it starts boiling, lower heat to low or low-med (depending on your stove top), place in the onion, garlic cloves, beef cubes, patis, whole pepper corn and salt. Continue to simmer for 2.5 - 30 hours. You can fish out the garlic cloves if you prefer towards the second hour, otherwise just keep it in the broth. The onion prevents the soup from getting murky after prolong boiling.
• add in your vegetables, garnish, serve and Enjoy! 

Seasoning... forgot to include the Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Simple, Easy and Delicious!
