How to Prepare Sour and Spicy Beef Tendon
-
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the beef tendon thoroughly and let it drain.
Peel the outer skin of the lemongrass, cut 3 stalks into pieces for boiling, and mince 2 stalks. Peel the ginger, cut 5 slices for boiling, and shred the rest.
Peel the shallots and garlic, and chop them finely. Wash the calamondin and let it drain, then cut it in half or into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on your preference.

Prepare the fish sauce
You place a pot on the stove, add 300 grams of sugar, 300 ml of fish sauce, 150 ml of vinegar, and 400 ml of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar is completely dissolved, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
-
Boil the beef tendons
Add 2 liters of water to a pot and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling, drop in the beef tendons and boil for about 1 minute, then add 3 stalks of lemongrass and 5 slices of ginger, and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until the beef tendons are tender.
The cooking time for the beef tendons depends on their thickness, but boiling for about 45 minutes should suffice; if you can poke them with chopsticks and they feel soft, they are done.
-
Soak the beef tendons
Cut the beef tendons into slices about 5 mm thick and place them in a bowl.
Add 5 grams of ginger, 20 grams of shallots, 50 grams of lemongrass, 60 grams of chili, 10 grams of garlic, and 100 grams of calamondin to the bowl, then mix well.
Next, place the beef tendons in a jar, pour the prepared fish sauce mixture over them until they are submerged. If the tendons float to the top, use a bamboo stick to hold them down so they stay submerged in the sauce to prevent spoilage.
The beef tendons and the sauce must be completely cool before you proceed to put them into the jar for soaking. The jar should be rinsed with boiling water and allowed to dry.
Seal the jar tightly and let the beef tendons soak for 4 to 6 hours before they can be used.
