Peel and chop 12 small shallots finely.

Chop 1 large thumb-sized piece of ginger.

Chop 4 large cloves of garlic.

Add 7 small red peppers to the pan with a little oil and fry until a spice paste (boomoo) is formed.

Split the boomoo into two portions, one for the soup and one for later.

In a large stainless steel pot, add broken lemongrass and the boomoo, then add hot water until beef ribs are submerged.

Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 2.5 hours.

Check the beef ribs to ensure they are tender but not falling off the bone.

Remove the ribs and let them cool slightly.

In a separate pan, take 2 cups of the soup and reduce it to 1 cup, adding 1/2 cup sweet soy sauce and 1/4 cup raw cane sugar until it becomes a sticky syrup.

In another pan, heat peanut oil and fry 1 cup peanuts and 1/2 cup cashew nuts until toasty, then add half of the boomoo and blend into a paste, adding salt to taste.

Brush the peanut sauce onto the beef ribs before grilling.

Grill the beef ribs over medium heat, brushing with the sauce to caramelize and create a sticky crust.

Serve with additional peanut sauce and sambal.
