A satisfying and simple beef noodle soup, perfect for an everyday meal.

This recipe is great when you are looking for a warm and filling meal. It hits the spot for a lunch or light dinner. The sweet and salty flavor play off of each other to give the soup a great flavor. You’ll find yourself slurping down the last drops of the soup wishing you had made more.

When prepping the beef cut it into long strips you want it to play and get stuck around the noodles. So making the strips long and thin does the trick. To prepare the beef you add in the soy, mirin, sugar and water. Let the beef sit for a few minutes.

When ready cook the beef on the cook top for 5 minutes only. No more, or it will become tough like shoe laces – and you don’t want that. Cook the beef with a little oil for the first three minutes on medium high heat to sear the meat. then for the last 2 minutes add in the soy and mirin sauce to the pan and cook on high heat until the liquid has boiled off. Typically about two minutes.

Next prepare the delicious broth. Mix in all the ingredients and then bring to a boil and drop in the udon noodles. Let the noodles cook for 2 minutes.

When all ready, use a large soup bowl, the bigger the better for this meal. Add in broth, noodles and beef. Then garnish with some fresh green onions or cilantro. That’s it. Enjoy the delicious soup.
