Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Beef chuck
  • 1/2 head Cabbage
  • 1 cup Green beans
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 6 cups Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 tsp Black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1.5 lbs of beef chuck, the medium onion (cut into quarters), 6 cups of beef broth, 1 tbsp of fish sauce, 1 tsp of black peppercorns, and 1 tsp of salt into a large heavy-bottomed pot.
