Vietnamese Beef Stew image

This is a very substantial beef stew from an asian recipe. The ingredients in this beef broth have a depth of flavor that satisfys even someone with a strictly western palate. I used cellophane noodles added to the finished product but would suggest if using this type to use sparingly. You can also use linguine. I discovered this recipe in Jennifer Brennan's cookbook "The Cuisines of Asia".

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used flank steak instead of chuck roast and I added some vegetables to the stew. I also used a different type of lemongrass. The stew turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

This Vietnamese beef stew is fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The lemongrass, ginger, and star anise give it a wonderfully fragrant and aromatic broth. I served it over jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family!
