Instructions:
- Rinse meat under cool water; pat dry. Liberally sprinkle ribs with garlic salt. Place the olive oil in bottom of a large skillet and brown meat on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add onions and potatoes and stir-fry together for another 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper.
- Transfer meat and vegetables to a large 8-quarat heavy pot. Add beef broth, and stir in beef base or bouillon cubes. Bring to boil.
