Put the beef shank in a pot with the water and half the salt, and boil for 80 minutes until tender.
Cut the eggplant into large slices, the green beans into long pieces, and the pak choi in half.
In a separate pot, saute the onion and garlic in annatto oil for 5 minutes.
Transfer the boiled beef and 3 cups of its broth to the onion pot.
Loosen the peanut butter and rice flour with hot meat broth and add to the pot.
Add the eggplant and green beans and cook for 18 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Add the pak choi and remaining salt, cook for 5 more minutes, and serve with shrimp paste.
💡 Tip: Loosen the peanut butter with hot meat broth before adding it to the pot; if it clumps, the sauce stays rough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve beef kare-kare with plain rice and a small amount of shrimp paste on the side, adding optional lemon wedges.
