What Makes My Recipe Different?

Traditionally Caldo de Res is made with bone-in beef shank but I couldn’t find that easily. I figured if I couldn’t, others too would have trouble. So I decided to try it with beef stew meat. I think the Instant Pot does an amazing job of infusing the beef with tons of flavor. So much so that none of my taste testers noted the lack of bones in the soup. But if you can find it, feel free to use bone-in beef and adjust cooking time accordingly.
