Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring stock to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add beef tendon and tripe slices, stirring to separate.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12 minutes until tendon is fully tender and tripe edges curl slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in soy sauce. Taste and adjust salt—the broth should taste bold and savory.

  4. Step 4

    Crush Sichuan peppercorns lightly with a spoon to release numbing oils. Divide between two bowls.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle hot broth and beef into bowls. Drizzle each with 1.5 tbsp chili oil and scatter peppercorns on top.

  6. Step 6

    Top with sliced scallion (mostly white parts for heat, green for garnish). Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (3-quart or bigger)
  • slotted spoon or skimmer
  • ladle
  • mortar and pestle or spoon (for crushing peppercorns)
