Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 quarts beef stock
1 tablespoon beef soup base, such as Better Than Bouillon
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoons hoisin sauce, plus more if desired
4 scallions, 2 sliced in half and 2 sliced thinly on the bias
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin rounds
2 whole cloves
2 whole star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
8 ounces thin rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
4 ounces shaved beef

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 jalapeno, sliced thin (seeds and ribs can be scooped out)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Choose fresh, high-quality beef and vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you have a lot of beef to cook, cook it in batches. This will help to prevent the pan from getting overcrowded and will ensure that the beef cooks evenly.
  • Use a timer: When cooking the rice, be sure to use a timer so that you don't overcook it. Overcooked rice is mushy and unappetizing.
  • Let the rice rest: After cooking the rice, let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing it. This will help the rice to absorb more moisture and will make it more tender.
  • Serve the beef and rice immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The beef will be most tender and juicy, and the rice will be perfectly cooked.

Conclusion:

Beef and rice is a classic dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be easily customized to suit your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying beef and rice dish that your family and friends will love.
