Steps //

1. 01 Blanch the beef in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain.
2. 02 Put the blanched beef and all the broth ingredients in a pot and simmer over medium-low for about an hour.
3. 03 Pull the beef into bite-sized shreds and strain the stock. Why That cooking liquid is the braise base. Throw it out and you throw out the savor.
4. 04 Add the seasoning, quail eggs, garlic and shiitake to the strained stock and boil 10 minutes. Why Dried shiitake makes the stock even deeper.
5. 05 Add the shredded beef and boil 5 minutes more.
6. 06 Stir in the shishito peppers right before you kill the heat. Why Shishitos go soft if they simmer. One stir is enough.
