Servings: persons

1 pound bone-in beef shanks
1 pound boneless beef shanks
1 pound beef oxtail, cut into pieces (optional)
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups beef broth
2 large tomatoes, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large potatoes, cut into chunks
1 yuca root - peeled, halved, and sliced
4 ears corn, cut into chunks
2 large carrots, cut into chunks
water to cover
2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
1 head cabbage, cut into chunks
5 zucchini, cut into chunks

1
Combine bone-in beef shanks, boneless beef shanks, oxtail, and onion in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until beef is browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
2
Stir beef broth, tomatoes, salt, and pepper into the pot. Simmer gently over medium heat, partially covered, until tomatoes break down, about 1 hour.
3
Stir potatoes, yucca, corn, and carrot into the pot carefully with a wooden spoon. Add cilantro. Pour in enough water to cover vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring carefully to avoiding mashing the vegetables, until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
4
Stir cabbage and zucchini into the pot. Simmer until zucchini is soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bones before serving.
