Note

If using firm skinless fish fillets instead of beef, cut each fillet into 3 pieces and reduce the cooking time to 40 minutes.

Ensure the pot is large enough to hold all ingredients comfortably with room for boiling.

Fresh thyme is recommended for best flavor, but dried thyme is a suitable substitute.
