Beef Debris

For Serving

Method

Beef Debris Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Add chopped carrots, star anise, and cinnamon stick to the pot. Stir everything together for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Beef

    Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Add fish sauce and sugar, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef back to the pot and stir to combine with the broth.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

    While the beef is simmering, slice the fresh baguette into individual servings.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Chop fresh cilantro and slice limes and chili peppers for garnish.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the beef debris in bowls, with slices of baguette on the side. Add chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and chili peppers for a fresh topping.
