Medan Style Beef Rib Soup

Medan Style Beef Rib Soup is a beloved classic dish in Medan. Unlike other regional variations, this version highlights a clear broth enriched with authentic beef stock, combined with cloves, cinnamon, and pepper, offering a warm sensation in every spoonful. The succulent beef ribs are slow-cooked until tender enough to fall off the bone. It is typically served with slices of potatoes, carrots, celery, and a generous sprinkle of fried shallots, accompanied by a spicy soy-based dipping sauce. This dish represents a culinary comfort for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic taste of North Sumatra.
