Critical Success Points

  • Roasting the onion and ginger to develop deep aromatics
  • Skimming scum during the initial boil and throughout the long simmer
  • Using a spice bag to keep whole spices easy to remove
  • Simmering the broth uncovered for 5‑6 hours for clarity and richness
  • Straining the broth and optionally chilling to remove excess fat

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot broth with care to avoid scalds.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the roasting sheet from the broiler.
  • Ensure raw beef is kept refrigerated until just before serving.
