Vietnamese-style beef pho
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 cup pre-diced yellow onions
  • 4 cups unsalted beef stock (or broth)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice (or pumpkin pie spice)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 (3-oz) packages oriental-flavor ramen noodles
  • 1 (1-inch-thick) New York strip steak (about 1 lb), thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • ½ cup Fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup pre-sliced green onions
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
Steps
  • Peel and grate ginger. Preheat stockpot on medium 2-3 minutes. Place oil in stockpot; add ginger, garlic, and yellow onions. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring often, or until lightly browned and onions are tender.
  • Add stock, water, five-spice, cinnamon, and seasoning from ramen noodles; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2-3 minutes. Trim fat from beef, then cut in half, then across the grain into thin slices (wash hands).
  • Break ramen noodles in half and add to broth; cook 2-3 minutes or until tender. Remove pot from heat. Add sliced beef; let stand 2-3 minutes and until beef is 145°F.
  • Cut lime into wedges; tear basil and cilantro into pieces. Divide basil, cilantro, green onions, and bean sprouts evenly between four bowls. Ladle soup mixture into each bowl and garnish with a lime wedge. Serve.
