Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef chuck (boneless, cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 3 russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
- 1 white onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 4 cups beef broth (or stock)
- 2 cups water
- 2 star anise
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- salt (to taste)
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth and water.
Add the soy sauce, star anise, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the beef simmer for 30 minutes to develop flavor and tenderize the meat.
Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Continue simmering for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Remove the star anise from the soup before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy your Oriental Potato and Beef Soup!
