Ingredients




10 cups of cold water
1 small onion, diced in big chunks
1 bay leaf
1 pound of sirloin (can use brisket as well)
4 gloves of garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon of peppercorns
1/2 inch ginger, smashed
1 teaspoon of salt
2 handfuls of shitake mushroom (or any mushrooms you like)
1 zucchini, sliced, not too thinly
Kale, chopped, as much as you like
3 tablespoons of Korean Red Pepper Powder (more if you like it REALLY spicy)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 packet of Vietnamese Vermicelli Noodles

Preparation

1 In a large soup pot, add the water, onion, bay leaf, sirloin (whole), garlic, peppercorns, ginger, the stalks of all the shitake mushrooms (we’ll use caps later), and salt. 2 Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer, with the cover on, for about 45-50 minutes. 3 Drain the stock. 4 Remove the meat and let sit. 5 Then, pour the stock (without the stock ingredients) back into the soup pot and bring to a boil. 6 Reduce the heat to medium/low and bring to a simmer. 7 Add the zucchini. 8 After 3 minutes then add the shitake mushroom caps (sliced or whole) and the kale. 9 Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. 10 In the meantime, mix, in a small bowl, the red pepper powder, sesame oil and soy sauce. 11 Add this mixture to the soup. 12 Then, sprinkle in the sugar. 13 Let simmer for another 5-7 minutes. 14 While the soup is finishing up, cook your noodles (read the instructions on packet). 15 Drain the noodles and turn the heat off the soup. 16 Place a handful of the noodles in a large soup bowl. 17 Add the amount of spicy beef soup that you want. 18 Slice your beef and add to the bowl. 19 Add some chopped green scallions and enjoy!
