Ingredients
- 2 pounds meaty beef bone marrow
- 1 pound beef brisket or shank
- 8-10 cups water
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns
- ¼ cup fish sauce
- 1 medium onion quartered
- 3 medium potatoes cut in halves
- 2 ears sweet corn shucked and cut into 3 or 4 each
- 1 small cabbage quartered
- 2 stalks onion leeks white part and green part separated
- salt as needed
Instructions
- In a bowl, soak the brisket in water to draw out blood. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Rinse the beef bone marrow and then place in a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat then lower the heat to let it simmer for 5 minutes to let the scums out.
- Drain and discard the water and clean the pot. Rinse the bones again to make sure no scum is left.
- Return the beef marrow to the clean pot and fill with 8-10 cups of water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once it boils cover the pot and reduce heat to achieve a medium boil. Let it boil for an hour or 30 minutes if using pressure cooker.
- Add the soaked brisket (water drained), fish sauce, onion, the white part of onion leek, and peppercorns. Boil until meat is fork-tender, about 1.5 to 2 hours more or 30 minutes if using a pressure cooker. Add more water if needed to cover the meat.
- Turn the heat off to let the fat settle on the surface. Skim off most of the fats then turn the heat back on and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Then add the corn and cabbage and cook for 3-5 minutes. Lastly, add the green part of the onion leeks and salt if still needed then turn off the heat.
- Transfer to serving bowls.
