Caldo De Res

[cowgirl]

A local Mexican restaurant makes fairly tasty Caldo de res (beef soup), but I ran across some nice looking beef ribs and wanted to make a pot at home.

The beef short ribs...

picked up some corn...

started by lightly smoking the beef ribs and onions in the drum..

then added a pot of tatoes, garlic and beef stock to the drum..

when the beef ribs had enough smoke and color, I added them to the pot of tatoes.. and let em go til tender...

The ribs were nice and tender...

Next came the cabbage...

corn and summer squash.. (cause I had the squash on hand)

I let them simmer til tender...

added cilantro, salt, pepper, a bit of mexican oregano, I think that was about it.

topped with onions and supper was ready.

The rib meat was tender and the broth came out very rich.
I hit it with some fresh squeezed lime juice and chili lime hot sauce..

The pot took on the smoke well, I was happy with the outcome. I'll be making it again in the future. :grin:

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Ron! It came out richer than the restaurant's but I don't think they use beef short ribs.

Beautiful work. Short ribs make excellent stew, and oxtails are even better.

Yeah, probably beef shank or maybe chuck.

Thanks Josh! I love oxtails too! :grin:

I bet you're right Ron, I think they might use shank. The meat isn't very tender but their soup is tasty. :grin:

Thanks Titch! :grin:

Thanks Greg! It was pretty flavorful. The restaurant adds cooked carrots to theirs but I don't really like them cooked. lol

Wonderful looking cook and presentation Jeanie, thank you for sharing.

I'm always amazed at how clean your Cowgirl grate is, looks like a new grate every cook and always wanted to ask if it's plate steel or cast iron?

Supposed to be a tad breezy today. Winds to 80mph.
A bowl sure would calm the stormy winds.
