Ingredients

• 1 pound beef chuck
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 8 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 star anise
• 2 small heads bok choy
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 3 green onions
• 1 lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into thin slices, around 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add sliced beef and sear until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

Step 4

Dice the onion and add it to the pot. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the ginger piece. Add them to the pot along with the red chili flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and star anise to the broth. Stir well.

Step 8

Simmer the broth for about 60 minutes to allow flavors to develop and beef to tenderize.

Step 9

While the broth is simmering, wash and chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 10

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Step 11

After 60 minutes, remove the star anise from the soup.

Step 12

Add the bok choy to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.

Step 13

Chop cilantro and slice green onions. Juice the lime.

Step 14

Divide the noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a good amount of beef and bok choy.

Step 15

Garnish each bowl with cilantro and green onions. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each serving.

Step 16

Serve hot and enjoy your spicy beef noodle soup!
