Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Bag Mrs. Miller’s Old Fashioned Kluski Noodles
- 8 tsp Mrs. Miller’s Beef Soup Base
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion, quartered, divided
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 TBS Fish Sauce
- 2 (1 in.) Piece Fresh Ginger, thinly sliced (no need to peel)
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 Star Anise Pod
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 2 Cloves, whole
- 8 oz beef, very thinly sliced (like a flat iron or flank steak or brisket)
- Salt, to taste
Toppings
- ½ Cup Bean Sprouts
- ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves, chopped
- Lime Wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Slice one of the onion quarters as thin as possible; set aside.
- In a large pot, bring the remaining 3 onion quarters, beef broth, water, ginger, cinnamon stick, sugar, star anise, and cloves to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Off the heat, add the noodles. Let sit, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until the noodles are soft and pliable but still not tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside.
- Over a large bowl, strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the solids and pour the clear broth back into the pot. (Alternatively, you can use a fine mesh spider to fish out the solids.)
- Bring the broth to a boil, add fish sauce, more sugar or salt if needed.
- Add the noodles; cook until the noodles are just tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Using tongs or a spider, lift the noodles from the pot and divide evenly into bowls.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the sliced raw beef to the broth; let simmer until no longer pink, about 1 minute.
- Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the beef from the broth and divide between the bowls. Ladle the broth over the noodles and beef.
- Top each bowl with the reserved thinly sliced onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro (you may not need all of the onions).
- Pass the lime wedges, and hot sauce at the table. Enjoy!
Notes
To add even more flavor allow 2 lbs of Beef Brisket to simmer with broth in Step 2 for three hours.
