INGREDIENTS

4 oz eye of round beef

2 oz dry rice stick noodles

2 cup low-sodium beef bone broth

1 inch ginger

1 whole star anise

0.5 whole cinnamon stick

1 tsp fish sauce

0.5 cup bean sprouts

0.25 cup Thai basil

0.5 whole lime

1 tsp jalapeño

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the ginger over an open flame or under a broiler until slightly charred to release its aromatic oils.

• 2

  In a medium pot, bring the beef bone broth to a gentle simmer with the charred ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick for 15 minutes.

• 3

  While the broth simmers, prepare the rice stick noodles according to package directions until tender, then drain and set aside.

• 4

  Slice the eye of round beef against the grain into paper-thin pieces and season lightly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 5

  Stir the fish sauce into the broth and remove the ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick.

• 6

  Place the cooked noodles in a deep bowl and lay the raw beef slices on top in a single layer.

• 7

  Pour the boiling hot broth directly over the beef to cook it instantly to a perfect, tender medium-rare.

• 8

  Garnish the bowl with bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeño, and a squeeze of fresh lime before serving.
