🧾 Ingredients

For the Beef Marinade:

• 500g thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp ground cumin

• 1 tbsp ground coriander

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the Broth:

• 4 cups chicken stock or homemade bone broth

• 2 tbsp peanut butter

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the Soup:

• 200g rice noodles

• 1 cup bean sprouts

• 1 red chili, diced (optional)

• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

• Juice of 1 lime

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, pour in the chicken stock or homemade bone broth. Bring it to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the peanut butter until fully incorporated, creating a creamy base. Add ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to taste. Let the broth simmer gently for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

3. Cook the Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. Sear the Beef: In a separate pan over medium-high heat, quickly sear the marinated beef slices until they are browned and cooked through. This should take about 2–3 minutes.

5. Assemble the Soup: Divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot satay broth over the noodles. Top each bowl with the seared beef slices. Garnish with bean sprouts, diced red chili (if using), fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime juice.

6. Serve: Serve the soup hot, ensuring each bowl is well garnished. Enjoy the rich, flavorful satay beef noodle soup!
