Soto Madura / Madurese Beef Soup

Soto Madura, Indonesian Beef Soup Recipe:

2 lb meat total
1 lb beef, cut into 1/2 inch
1/2 lb tripe, cut into 1/2 inch and or
1/2 lb heart, cut into 1/2 inch and or
1/2 lb lung, cut into 1/2 inch
1 stalk lemon grass, bruised
5 kaffir lime leaves
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 TB salt
2 inches ginger, thinly sliced,br> 4 cloves
2 1/2 litre water

in separate pots
2 1/2 litre water
2 inches ginger, bruised x 2
1 TB salt x 2
1/4 tsp turmeric x 2

Spice Paste: 1/4 tsp white pepper
8 shallots
4 garlic
4 candle nuts, fried until brown
1/4 cup water

Have 2 separate pots with 2 1/2 litre water, ginger, turmeric and 1 TB salt. 1 pot for the tripe, the other pot for the lung or the hearts or both. Cook them until tender about 1 hour on medium heat. Usually the heart & lung cook faster than the tripe. When they are all cooked, drain the water and rinse.

Chef's Note: I don't use the water from the tripe the hearts or lung usually. The broth will be from the meat we used here, this way the Soto will taste better.

In the 3rd pot, boil the beef in 2 1/2 litre water with all the ingredients. Skim off any foam or other impurities from the surface. When the water is clear, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer.
Meanwhile, prepared the Spice Paste, combine all the ingredients in a blender and process to a smooth paste. Pour into a wok and cook over medium heat until the liquid almost gone. Add 6 TB oil and continue frying until fragrant (about 4 minutes) Add the Spice Paste into the meat broth (you can remove all the debris using a sifter at this stage) Add all the other meat into this broth and continue cooking until the beef is tender. Adjust the taste and soto is ready to serve.

Condiment To Serve:
2 whole cellophane noodles soaked in water until soft and cut up little bit for easier handling
2 Tomatoes diced
3 stalk celery, finely chopped and mix with
3 green onion, thinly sliced
sambal soto
And of course, plain white rice
