INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Beef Sirloin
1 oz Rice Noodles (Dry)
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 pod Star Anise
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, Grated
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
2 tbsp Scallions
1/2 cup Fresh Bean Sprouts
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Prepare all fresh ingredients by mincing the garlic, grating the ginger, chopping the scallions, and roughly tearing the cilantro and basil.
Thinly slice the lean beef sirloin against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Bring the vegetable broth and water (if desired, add an equal part water to lighten the broth or simply use extra broth if preferred) to a simmer in a medium saucepan and add the star anise, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Remove the star anise from the broth. Add the beef slices to the simmering broth and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until just tender. Overcooking may result in tougher beef.
Divide the cooked rice noodles between bowls, then ladle the hot broth with beef over the noodles.
Top each bowl with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, cilantro, and basil.
Serve immediately, enjoying the aromatic, herb-infused flavors with every spoonful.
