💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Homemade broth is healthier and can be made from scraps.

Wash the beef with bones.

Mix the dried ingredients: turmeric powder, tabel and Kya, coriander powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a bowl.

Marinate the beef with the mixed dried ingredients, ensuring every piece is covered.

Let the marinated beef sit for 1-2 hours.

In a clean pot, pour in the Mia powder and mix it with olive oil until smooth and watery.

Gradually add boiling water while stirring to achieve the right consistency.

Boil the mixture in a deep pot, stirring occasionally.

Add bay leaves and the marinated beef to the boiling mixture.

Cook on medium to low heat for about 3 hours, until the water reduces and oil settles on top.
