## Steps

1. [0:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=22s) Rinse the ox leg bones in cold water to remove bone chips.
2. [0:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=27s) Trim fat off the beef flank.
3. [0:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=32s) Soak the bones and beef flank in cold water for about 20 minutes to draw out blood.
4. [1:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=62s) Rinse the soaked meat and bones thoroughly.
5. [1:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=80s) Boil the bones and beef in a large pot of water for about 10 minutes to remove impurities.
6. [2:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=137s) Drain and rinse the bones and beef thoroughly, and wash the pot.
7. [3:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=188s) Return bones and beef to the clean pot, add 3 quarts of water, a medium onion, and peeled Korean radish.
8. [3:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=208s) Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer on low for about 3 hours.
9. [4:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=252s) Remove the cooked beef and radish from the pot and set aside to cool.
10. [4:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=259s) Refill the pot with water, cover, and boil again on low heat for about 2.5 hours to extract milky broth.
11. [5:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=308s) Pour out the first batch of milky broth into a clean bowl, remove marrow bones, and repeat boiling with fresh water.
12. [6:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=365s) Chill the collected broth in the refrigerator overnight so the fat solidifies on top.
13. [6:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=370s) Scrape off and discard the solidified layer of fat from the chilled broth.
14. [6:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=388s) Slice the cooled radish into quarter-inch thick pieces.
15. [7:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=429s) Slice the cooled beef, then tear it into thin strips.
16. [7:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=447s) Chop green onions.
17. [7:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=458s) Prepare the spicy beef seasoning by mixing beef strips with green onion, minced garlic, hot pepper flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
18. [6:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=384s) Reheat the skimmed milky bone broth until boiling.
19. [8:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQb_6iUwRw&t=513s) Assemble the bowls with radish, beef, broth, green onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, and serve with rice.
