Ingredients

Marinated Beef:

1 pound flap meat, thinly sliced into 2-inch strips

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Satay Sauce:

2 cups water

2/3 cup Chinese sacha BBQ sauce

1/4 cup oyster sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

4 teaspoons dark soy sauce

4 teaspoons shrimp paste

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons curry powder

2 teaspoons chili oil

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons oil

4 shallots, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

Soup:

8 cups beef broth

12 ounces flour noodles

1 cup bean sprouts

1/4 cup chopped scallions

1/4 cup finely crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine sliced flap meat with egg, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Gradually add water while mixing, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Marinate for 1 hour.
  2. Make the satay sauce: In a bowl, whisk together water, sacha BBQ sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauces, shrimp paste, sugar, curry powder, chili oil, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear beef in a single layer until browned but not fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Build the sauce: Clean the skillet and heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the prepared satay sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove 1 cup of the sauce and set aside. Return the beef to the remaining sauce, toss to coat, and keep warm.
  5. Prepare the broth: In a large pot, combine 1 cup reserved satay sauce with beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  6. Cook the noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide among 4 serving bowls.
  7. Assemble: Pour 2 cups of broth into each bowl over the noodles. Top with satay beef, bean sprouts, chopped scallions, and crushed peanuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add extra chili oil or fresh chilies for more heat.
  • Substitute flour noodles with rice, egg, or udon noodles.
  • Add a spoonful of peanut butter for extra nutty flavor.
  • Include bok choy, spinach, or mushrooms for added veggies.
  • Use chicken or veggie broth and tofu for a lighter, vegetarian version.
  • Store broth and noodles separately to prevent sogginess when reheating.
