Instructions

Prep the Veg
1

Trim and peel the carrots. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

Trim the courgette. Use a peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the courgette, stopping at the spongy centre.

Prep More Veg
2

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Juice half the lime and cut the other half into wedges.

Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

Prep the Beef
3

Cut the beef into 2cm chunks. (Reserve the juice in the packet to add later.)

Boil a full kettle.

Boil the Eggs
4

Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Boil the eggs (see pantry) for 7-8 mins. Drain and allow to cool. IMPORTANT: Ensure egg whites are fully cooked.

Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.

 

Add the Veg
5

Meanwhile, place a large saucepan on medium-high heat (no oil).

Once hot, add the boiled water (see pantry), Asian broth paste and the ginger, garlic and lemongrass paste.

Bring to a simmer, then add the beef and reserved juices. Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef as it cooks. Simmer until cooked, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the beef is piping hot throughout.

Once the beef has warmed through, add the green beans and simmer, 3-5 mins. Add the carrot and courgette ribbons and simmer until softened, 1 min.

Remove from the heat, stir the lime juice into the broth and season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Share the pho inspired pulled beef soup between your bowls.

Peel the egg, cut in half and place on top of the soup.

Drizzle over the sambal paste, then garnish with the coriander, sesame seeds and lime wedges.
