Instructions
- 1Tip the beef stock along with 500ml of water into a large saucepan. Sit the onion and ginger in a frying pan over a high heat and char on all sides, around 3-5 mins (you can also do this under your grill). Once charred, add to the beef stock. In the same pan, toast the spices for 2-3 mins and once they begin to smell fragrant, add them to the beef stock as well. Bring the stock to the boil, then turn to a simmer and cook for 30mins before straining.
- 2Meanwhile, cut the fat from the steak and wrap in cling film, then put into the freezer for 15 mins – this will make your steak really easy to slice! Slice it thinly, then cover with cling film again and pop into the fridge.

Chef tips
For a deep and extra clear broth, char the onion and ginger over an open flame before adding them to the pot, and don't forget to skim off the foam as it cooks. For a fun family style meal, serve the soup with a large platter of fresh toppings like bean sprouts, cilantro, and lime in the center of the table so everyone can customize their own bowl.
