Jump To Recipe

Asian soups like Vietnamese pho have become a popular lunchtime take-away for office workers but they are easy to make at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 600 g rump or flat-iron steak
  • ½ bunch green onions (shallots)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 150 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 5cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1–2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped (optional)
  • 1 litre beef consommé or beef stock
  • 350 g packet fresh udon noodles

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat in a large saucepan.
  2. Brown beef on both sides. Remove and rest. Add remaining ingredients, except noodles to pan, bring to the boil and simmer until carrot is soft, around 10 minutes. Taste and if desired, dilute with a little boiling water.
  3. Thinly slice beef across the grain. Add beef and noodles to the soup. Return just to the boil and serve immediately.

Notes

Wine: A sherry is always wonderful with a soup, especially one with Asian flavours.
