Watermelon Beef Short Rib Sinigang

Course: Soup

Cuisine: Filipino

Keyword: Filipino, watermelon

Author: K de leon-Rieth

Ingredients

• 1 kg beef short ribs
• 1/2 kg Watermelon slices or more much better
• Tamarind paste (I used Suree which you can buy it in any supermarket, you can also try Tamarind powder but I like this better)
• Fish sauce (patis)
• Sliced onions
• Ripe tomatoes (you can use any but I used cherry tomatoes)
• Radish, sliced
• Sitaw
• Kangkong
• Okra (which I didn’t have because of the lockdown)
• Siling haba

Instructions

• Boil beef and scoop out the impurities.
  
• Then add tomatoes, watermelon, and onions.
  
• Add Patis then bring to boil before you taste it. Always make it a habit to taste it before adding more salt or Patis. When you add let it boil first so it is properly distributed.
• Slow-cook the ribs at low heat until the meat is tender.
• Add tamarind paste then the veggies do not overcook.
