Beef Hot Pot

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb beef chuck
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 1.5 lb beef chuck into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add the 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the 3 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until it darkens slightly. Add the 4 cups beef broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

5. 5

   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the beef is tender, about 1.5 hours. Add the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve hot, ladled into bowls with the steaming broth. Enjoy as is or with crusty bread for dipping.
