Thai Steak Soup Recipes

THAI HOT AND SOUR SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Stir in the tom yum paste and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves. Place the chicken in the saucepan, and cook 5 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Mix in the mushrooms. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and green chile pepper. Continue cooking until well blended. Remove from heat, and serve warm with the coriander and basil.

THAI BEEF NOODLE SOUP - GWAYTIO NUEA NAM

Steps:

• Fry beef strips in the oil until browned, using a large soup pot.
• Remove the browned strips, leaving the oil and juice in the pot.
• Fry the garlic until golden, stirring to keep from burning.
• Quickly add the ground beef, celery, and scallions--cook while stirring until the beef just browns.
• Add beef stock, black pepper, cinnamon, and fish sauce.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add noodles and return to a boil.
• Remove from heat and add bean sprouts.
• Top with beef strips and cilantro (this can also be done after putting the soup into the individual bowls).
• If desired, soak the red pepper flakes in the vinegar, and allow to be added to individual bowls.

THAI STEAK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak all over with salt and pepper; cook about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Reserve the skillet.
• Put the noodles in a bowl; cover with warm water and soak 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, chopped jalapeno, scallion whites, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; simmer 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the reserved skillet; heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Drain the noodles, pat dry and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the skillet to form a pancake; cook, undisturbed, until slightly golden, 5 minutes. Flip; cook until crisp, 3 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut into 4 wedges. Slice the steak against the grain.
• Add the snow peas, carrots and half of the cilantro to the soup; simmer until tender, 3 minutes. Divide the soup, steak and fried noodles among bowls. Top with the scallion greens, sliced jalapeno, fried shallots and the remaining cilantro.
