Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add beef, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and rinse beef under cold water.
Step 3
Return cleaned beef to the pot with fresh 8 cups water. Add turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 50–60 minutes until beef is very tender and shreds easily.
Step 5
While beef cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in a small skillet over medium. Fry shallots and remaining 2 garlic cloves until golden and fragrant, ~4 minutes.
Step 6
When beef is tender, taste broth and adjust salt. Stir in fried shallots and garlic. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
Step 7
Serve hot in bowls with broth and beef. Remove lemongrass stalks before eating if desired.
