Beef Nilaga (Beef Stew)

This is one of my husband’s favorite meals. He really likes it when I use a slow cooker because the beef comes out sooo tender. This is also great on a cold day. You can also make a sauce, mix lemon juice with fish sauce or salt and crushed chilli pepper. Yum!!!
Ingredients
- 11 cups water **
- 4 medium beef shank
- 2 medium potatoes, cube
- 1 ½ tablespoon whole black pepper
- 1 small onion, cube
- 1 small cabbage and/or pechay
- fish sauce (patis) or salt, to season
- chilli pepper (optional)
- lemon wedges
** You can use beef cubes instead of just plain water. Dissolve 2 beef cubes with 1 cup of water. So you will use 10 cups of water and 1 cup beef cube mix
