NOTES:

- Adjust the ingredients for larger crowd.

-Adjust the taste according to your preference.

- Use your favorite leafy vegetables.

The beef shank is the shank (or leg) portion of a steer or heifer. Due to the constant use of this muscle by the animal it tends to be tough, dry, and sinewy, so is best when cooked for a long time in moist heat. Beef shank is a common ingredient in soups- (source: wikipedia )

Ingredients:
Beef Shank- cut into big chunks
Nappa Cabbage/ Bokchoy or Petchay- I used Nappa Cabbage on this recipe:)
Ginger- sliced
Onion-
Green onion
Tomato- cut into chunks
Salt and Pepper- to taste
4-6 cups of water

Directions:
1.) In large pot, bring the 4-6 cups water into boil. Add the salt and pepper, ginger, onion and the cut beef.
2.) Let it simmer for like 1 hour or so until the beef is tender. Add the tomato at this point and water if you need to.
3.) Once the beef is tender. Add the cabbage and green onion. Adjust the taste by adding salt and pepper.  Turn off the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes.
4.) Best serve when its hot along with rice. Share this delicious moment with your family and friends.

Grab your plate and let's dig in!:)
