Cut the beef shank into large pieces, then chop the onion and garlic.
Put the beef and water in a pot and cook for 95 minutes, until the meat is tender enough to pull apart.
Cut the eggplants into large slices, trim the green beans, and cut the Chinese cabbage into thick strips.
Heat the vegetable oil and annatto oil in a separate pot, then fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Add the boiled beef and 3 cups of its broth to the pot.
Add the peanut butter, toasted rice flour, and fish sauce, then thicken over low heat for 25 minutes.
Add the eggplant and green beans and cook for 12 minutes.
Add the Chinese cabbage in the final 4 minutes and serve kare-kare with rice while the vegetables still have bite.
💡 Tip: Use roasted but unsweetened peanuts or peanut butter; sweet peanut butter makes the sauce too dessert like.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve beef kare-kare with plain rice, optional mildly spicy shrimp paste, and boiled vegetables.
