Satay Beef and Noodle Soup image

An easy, non-traditional, satay version, of a favorite Vietnamese soup. If you prefer, use strips of sauteed chicken and chicken stock, instead of the fillet steak and beef stock in this recipe.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 ounces rice noodles (about the width of fettuccine)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons freshly chopped garlic
8 cups good beef stock or 8 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons nuoc nam (Vietnamese fish sauce)
1 stalk lemongrass, sliced
4 spring onions, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
1/2 cup satay sauce (I use Ayam brand, mild)
1/2-1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (chili sauce) or 1/2-1 teaspoon sambal oelek (optional)
6 ounces filet of beef, sliced thinly (or sauteed chicken strips)
1 -2 red chili pepper, finely sliced
2 ounces bean sprouts, blanched briefly in boiling water
2 ounces peanuts, chopped
fresh cilantro, basil and mint,chopped separately
4 spring onions, sliced
1 large sweet onion, sliced thinly and marinated in vinegar
2 limes, cut into wedges
sriracha sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet and lightly saute the ginger and garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add the beef stock, nuoc nam, lemon grass, spring onions, cinnamon and star anise.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, then strain and return stock to pan.
  • Stock can be prepared to this stage, 3 days ahead.
  • On the day of serving, prepare the ingredients for the garnishes and place in small serving bowls.
  • Around 20 minutes before serving, place the noodles in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and soak until noodles are soft (about 20 minutes), then drain well.
  • When ready to serve, bring the stock to the boil and add the satay sauce, and Sriracha chili sauce or sambal oelek, if desired.
  • Taste and correct seasoning, adding a touch more satay sauce and chili sauce if desired.
  • Divide the hot rice stick noodles between 4 to 6 deep soup bowls, and top with sliced, raw, beef fillet.
  • Ladle over enough boiling stock to cover the noodles and meat.
  • Whether the beef is rare or well done is determined by how long the beef sits in the hot broth before serving.
  • Each person tops their portion with their choice of garnishes, a squeeze of lime juice and Sriracha sauce if desired.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a little less beef than the recipe called for and it was still plenty. I will definitely be making this again.
