Rinse the 1.5 lb beef tripe and cut into bite-sized pieces. Slice the 4 garlic cloves and chop the 1 large tomato; set aside.

In a large pot, combine the tripe, 2 cups water, and 3 tbsp gochujang. Stir to dissolve the paste, then bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low, add the sliced garlic, chopped tomato, 3 kaffir lime leaves, and 2 whole red chili peppers. Cover and simmer gently.

Cook until the tripe is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 40 minutes. The tripe should be easily pierced with a fork.
