Venezuelan Sancocho is a hearty beef soup, packed with root vegetables, corn, and aromatic herbs. The beef shank simmers until fork-tender with a few aromatics, which are then removed before adding the vegetables in stages. This staggered approach ensures each vegetable cooks through without turning to mush. Serve it hot with a squeeze of lime, and if you like, a dash of hot sauce, often alongside arepas or casabe.
