Method
- Rinse the tripe and cut it into bite-sized pieces; put it in a large pot with the beef chuck, broth and water. Tripe stands in here for the gelatinous richness of the traditional beef foot.
- Bring to a boil, skim off any foam, then cover and simmer for about 2 hours until the tripe is tender.
