Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g beef stew meat (or another affordable cut like chuck roast)
  • 2 cups beef broth (preferably low-sodium) – to be used sparingly
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2-3 pieces (about 1 cup) shitake mushrooms
  • 2-3 stalks young onion, cut into 1-inch lenght for the green part and thin slices for the whitish part
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
  • 1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 300g noodles (sotanghon, egg noodles, or any other variety you prefer)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear the pieces until browned on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Add carrots and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot.
  4. In a separate pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles, or according to package directions. Drain, then stir into the beef mixture. Add the young onions and stir once.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with garnishes – toasted sesame seeds, chopped coriander or parsley.
