Ingredients
2 pounds beef bones
1 small onion, grilled
2" ginger, grilled
12 cups water
6 whole star anise
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package beef balls or thinly sliced tender beef
Procedure
Boil the soup bone for an hour removing the scum that rises to the top. If you are fat conscious like me, use beef shanks (less fat) or you can use beef bones but make the broth one day ahead. After boiling, keep overnight in the refrigerator to solidify the fat. Scoop the fat out the next day when you are ready to make your soup.
