Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef brisket
- 8 cups beef bone broth
- 4 pieces whole star anise
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 inches fresh ginger
- 1 large white onion
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 14 ounces low-carb shirataki noodles
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup fresh Thai basil
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 piece sliced jalapeño
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the onion in half and peel the ginger. Place the onion and ginger on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until the onion is caramelized and ginger is fragrant.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat to medium and add roasted onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and peppercorns to the pot with the brisket.
Pour in beef bone broth and add salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender.
Once the brisket is tender, remove from the pot and let it rest. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot to remove the solids. Add fish sauce to the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
Rinse and drain the shirataki noodles according to package instructions. Add the noodles to the strained broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain. Divide the noodles and broth among serving bowls, top with sliced brisket, fresh cilantro, Thai basil, and bean sprouts.
Serve with sliced jalapeño and lime wedges on the side for added flavor and spice.
