Beef Shurpa with Cilantro

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups
Shurpa is the golden beef broth of Central Asia. The secret is that it's not boiled hard, but 'simmered gently'. During slow cooking, collagen and flavors release from the meat without making the broth cloudy.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large Stockpot
  • Skimmer or Slotted Spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Place beef, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to minimum.

Tip: Starting with cold water helps extract maximum flavor from the meat.
2 ✓

Skim off the foam from the surface and simmer gently for 1 hour.

Tip: The foam is coagulated protein. Removing it ensures a clear broth.
3 ✓

Add chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, spices, and cubed potatoes. Cook for another 20-30 minutes until tender.

Tip: The acidity of the tomatoes balances the richness of the beef.
4 ✓

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tip: Fresh cilantro provides a citrusy lift to the dish.
