Steps:
- Cut the meat from the beef bones into about 1/2 inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
- Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add the meat and bones, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
- Add 1 onion, and cook until onion is also lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes and broth. The liquid should cover the bones by 1/2 inch. If not, add enough water to compensate. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour with the lid on loosely. If meat is not tender, continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so.
- Pour in the water, and return to a simmer. Add the carrot and 1/4 cup cilantro, and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the potato, corn and chayote. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Push the cabbage wedges into the soup, and cook for about 10 more minutes.
- Ladle soup into large bowls, including meat vegetables and bones. Garnish with jalapenos, minced onion, and additional cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over all, and serve with radishes.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for cuts that are well-marbled and have a deep red color.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to sear the beef. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the meat from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the pot when searing the beef. If necessary, sear the beef in batches.
- Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and create a nice crust.
- Add the vegetables and cook until they are softened. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Deglaze the pot with Calvados. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and add a rich flavor to the sauce.
- Add the beef broth and simmer the dish until the beef is tender. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the beef Calvados with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
