Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 8 oz rice noodles
• 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Beef Noodle Soup with Fresh Herbs

1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until browned, about 3-4 minutes, then remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Add the rice noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, typically about 4-6 minutes.
5. Once the noodles are cooked, return the seared beef to the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through.
6. Stir in the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish.
7. Serve the soup hot, topped with shredded cheese and additional herbs as desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• For a richer flavor, let the broth simmer longer before adding the noodles.
• Adjust the soy sauce to your taste, depending on how salty you prefer your soup.
• Fresh herbs make a big difference, so don’t skip the cilantro and green onions.

Easy Variations

• Substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add vegetables like bok choy, carrots, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
• Use egg noodles instead of rice noodles for a heartier texture.
• Spice it up with a dash of chili flakes or sriracha if you like heat.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or rolls for dipping.
• A light salad to balance the meal.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
• Steamed dumplings for an Asian-inspired feast.
