Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 beef ribs, trimmed from a cooked prime rib roast
Vegetables:
- 1 large potato, peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces (0.5 kilograms)
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) fresh mushrooms, sliced
Liquid and Seasonings:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Meticulously collect and organize all recipe components, ensuring each ingredient is fresh and readily accessible.
- Transfer cooked beef ribs into a generously sized cooking vessel, completely submerging them with cool water.
- Escalate the liquid temperature until it reaches a vigorous boil, then immediately decrease heat to a gentle, consistent simmer. Allow the meat to tenderize and separate from bones, approximately 120 minutes.
- Carefully extract the ribs from the liquid, positioning them on a cooling surface. Continue reducing the remaining broth until it condenses to roughly 240 milliliters (1 cup).
- Refrigerate the concentrated broth, permitting fat layers to solidify and separate at the surface.
- Meanwhile, methodically trim meat from cooled ribs, cutting into uniform, bite-sized morsels. Store protein pieces in refrigeration.
- Remove and discard the congealed fat layer from chilled broth surface.
- Transfer reduced broth into a saucepan, incorporating beef stock, prepared meat fragments, diced potatoes, sliced mushrooms, seasoning with salt and ground black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then immediately lower temperature to a gentle simmer. Cover and allow ingredients to meld, ensuring potatoes reach optimal tenderness, approximately 20 minutes.
- Garnish with finely chopped chives immediately before serving, enhancing visual appeal and adding a subtle, fresh flavor dimension.
Notes
- Elevate flavor by carefully selecting prime rib with marbling and rich color for maximum taste depth.
- Trimming excess fat from meat ensures a cleaner, more refined soup texture and prevents greasiness.
- Chopping vegetables uniformly guarantees consistent cooking and balanced bite experience in every spoonful.
- Creating depth happens through slow simmering, allowing herbs and spices to meld seamlessly.
- Refrigerating overnight intensifies the soup’s complex flavor profile and improves overall taste experience.
