Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef brisket
• 8 cups beef bone broth
• 4 pieces whole star anise
• 1 stick cinnamon stick
• 4 pieces whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 inches fresh ginger
• 1 large white onion
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 14 ounces low-carb shirataki noodles
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup fresh Thai basil
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 piece sliced jalapeño
• 1 piece lime
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the onion in half and peel the ginger. Place the onion and ginger on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until the onion is caramelized and ginger is fragrant.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add roasted onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and peppercorns to the pot with the brisket.

Step 4

Pour in beef bone broth and add salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender.

Step 5

Once the brisket is tender, remove from the pot and let it rest. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot to remove the solids. Add fish sauce to the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Step 6

Rinse and drain the shirataki noodles according to package instructions. Add the noodles to the strained broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Slice the brisket thinly against the grain. Divide the noodles and broth among serving bowls, top with sliced brisket, fresh cilantro, Thai basil, and bean sprouts.

Step 8

Serve with sliced jalapeño and lime wedges on the side for added flavor and spice.
