Instructions
- In a large pot, place the beef bones and brisket, and cover them with water. Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface to ensure a clear broth. Allow it to simmer for 6 hours.
- After 6 hours, carefully remove the bones and brisket from the pot. Discard any fat or gristle from the brisket and slice it thinly.
- Return the sliced brisket to the pot along with the minced garlic, sliced ginger, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 2 hours to deepen the flavors.
- After simmering, remove the ginger slices from the pot and discard them.
- To serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the chopped green onions. Drizzle sesame oil over each bowl for added richness.
- Serve with cooked rice on the side, allowing guests to add rice directly into the soup if desired.
Tips
- For a more flavorful broth, consider adding a few dried anchovies or Korean radish (mu) during the initial simmering stage.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to suit your taste. Some may prefer a little more seasoning.
- This soup can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen as it sits, making it even tastier the next day.
