Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb beef, thinly sliced
- 2 eggs, beaten
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 cup tomato, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package of noodles, cooked according to package directions
Instructions
- Prepare beef by slicing thinly and marinating with soy sauce, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Warm cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat, then gently sauté minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Introduce marinated beef to the pot, stirring intermittently until evenly browned and sealed.
- Pour diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, chopped green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar into the pot. Increase heat to boiling, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 15 minutes until beef becomes fork-tender.
- Create a cleared area in the pot, carefully pour beaten eggs, allowing them to set for one minute before softly scrambling throughout the liquid.
- Evaluate soup’s seasoning, adjusting with additional salt and pepper as needed. Ladle hot soup over prepared noodles, ensuring each serving contains tender beef, soft eggs, and rich broth.
Notes
- Slice beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Let beef sit in soy sauce mixture for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor absorption.
- Slowly pour beaten eggs into slightly tilted pot to create soft, delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.
- Replace regular noodles with rice noodles or zucchini noodles for a wheat-free alternative.
