Krok po kroku

1. 1

   If your beef tripe is not pre-boiled, place it in a large pot with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, then drain and rinse thoroughly. Repeat this process once more to ensure it is clean and reduce strong odors.

   Około 20 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Boiling the tripe once or twice before cooking helps remove impurities and strong flavors.

2. 2

   Cut the cleaned tripe into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch squares.

3. 3

   Return the cut tripe to a clean large pot. Add the yellow onion, bay leaf, and enough water to cover the tripe by at least 2 inches.

   Około 2 min

   Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the tripe is very tender. Check periodically and add more water if needed to keep the tripe submerged.
