Critical Success Points

  • Sautéing the aromatics without burning the garlic
  • Browning the beef to develop flavor
  • Skimming foam for a clear broth
  • Removing the lid during the final simmer to concentrate the broth

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and boiling water with care to avoid burns
  • Use a stable cutting board to prevent knife slips
  • When removing the pot lid, steam can cause burns – pull back slowly.
