Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds beef chuck, round, or pre-cut stewing beef, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • Egg noodles (wide, medium, or thin)
  • High-quality beef broth or stock (low-sodium preferred)
  • Carrots, sliced or diced
  • Celery, diced
  • Onions, chopped
  • Fresh spinach or bok choy
  • Sliced mushrooms (cremini or shiitake)
  • Bell peppers
  • Green beans
  • Frozen peas
  • Fresh garlic, minced
  • Fresh ginger, grated
  • Soy sauce (low-sodium is best)
  • Sesame oil
  • Black pepper
  • Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Cut your beef into 1-inch pieces. Chop your onion, slice your carrots and celery, mince your garlic, and grate your ginger. If using spinach or bok choy, wash and roughly chop them.
  2. Sear the Beef: In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add your beef in a single layer and sear until deeply browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add more oil if needed, then toss in your chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are softened. Add your minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze and Build the Broth: Pour in about half a cup of beef broth or a splash of rice vinegar into the pot. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the rest of the beef broth, along with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Simmer to Tender Perfection: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  6. Cook the Noodles: About 15 minutes before serving, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain them well.
  7. Add Quick-Cooking Vegetables: In the last 5 minutes of simmering, stir in any quick-cooking vegetables like sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or green beans. Add spinach or bok choy in the last minute or two.
  8. Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Ladle the hot soup over the cooked noodles and garnish with fresh herbs like chopped green onions or cilantro.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't skip the sear for maximum flavor, and be patient with the simmering process to ensure tender beef. Cook noodles separately to prevent them from becoming mushy, and feel free to personalize your vegetables based on what's in season.
