stems into 5 cm (2 in) chunks.

and let it melt. Spread 1/3 of the meat flat in the pot and lightly
brown the bottom of the meat. Pour 1/3 of (A) over the meat.
Lightly simmer and eat.
3. Wipe the bottom of the pot clean and add the remaining beef
tallow. Add the leeks and onions and let them simmer. Move the
vegetables to the edges of the pot, add the remaining meat to
the middle of the pot and let the meat cook. Add the remaining
A and shungiku and cook until ready to eat.
