The Best Authentic CALDO DE RES in a Small Family-Sized Pot | Classic Mexican Beef Stew

Hey guys, today I'm going to share with you how to make the most delicious caldo de res. So if you want to learn how to make it, just stay tuned and I'll show you how. Alrighty guys, so let's get started with our ingredients. For this recipe we're going to need two pounds and a half of chuck pot roast, two pounds of beef short ribs or beef shanks, one small onion, one bay leaf, one head of garlic, two roma tomatoes, one jalapeño, one corn, one chayote, one Mexican calabacita or zucchini, baby carrots, half of a small cabbage, two medium potatoes, one cup of green beans, a handful of cilantro, beef bouillon, tomato bouillon, and salt. So these are ingredients, now let's get started. We're going to begin by bringing three and a half quarts of water to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add your salt, onion, garlic, bay leaf, along with our meat. I'm using short ribs but of course you can always use beef shanks. And for my chuck pot roast, I just cut it into small chunks. Now we're just going to bring it to another boil. Okay and once it comes to its second boil, remove all of the impurities from the meat, form on top of the broth. Okay so now we're just going to reduce the heat to medium low, cover it, and allow it to cook for one hour. Alright guys, so after one hour we're going to open our caldo. Let me tell you, it smells delicious already. And here we're going to get our garlic and just smash it down. Of course remove the shell. Just make sure to smash it down completely and return it back to the caldo. And here I'm also going to be removing the onion since it already served its purpose. Okay now to our caldo we're going to be adding beef bouillon and tomato bouillon. I'm using two teaspoons of each along with our jalapeño and Roma tomatoes and I just cut them in half. So here we're going to begin to add our corn along with the chayote if you're using. I'm just going to cover it again and allow it to cook for another 20 to 30 minutes. Alright guys and after 20 minutes we can add our potatoes along with the carrots and green beans. And at this point your meat should be nice and tender. Of course make sure that you check it. And now we're just going to cover it again and allow it to continue cooking for another 10 to 12 minutes. Alright guys and after another 10 minutes we can get ready to add the rest of our vegetables. So here I have my calabacita along with my cabbage and of course our cilantro. We're just going to cover it and give it another seven to eight minutes and then we can get ready for the fun part. Alright guys and after seven minutes our delicious caldo de res is done. At this point all of our vegetables should be nice and soft and our meat should be nice and tender. Just like that we can now get ready to serve. Alright guys and once we have our caldo de res we can now get ready for the fun part serving.
