Vietnamese Style Beef Soup (越南风味牛肉汤)

Image
越南风味牛肉汤(Yue Nan Feng Wei Niu Rou Tang) Most of the soups I made over the years are Chinese style, they are simple, original, only with flavor of green onion and ginger. I have been thinking of making Vietnamese beef soup for many years, the reason is that all the beef pho soup I have tried so far is too sweet for me with a lot of sugar added. I am not a big fan of adding so much sugar to meat soup. And this recipe is the result of my first adventure into Vietnamese style soup, I intentionally left the sugar out. Given the generous portion of beef bone and meat used in this recipe, and no use of sugar at all, I believe the taste and flavor are much better than the restaurant version I have tried. For more fun cooking ideas, see Recipes by Category . Ingredients 3 to 4 lb. Beef bone 2 lb. Beef chuck roast (or any other cut) 1 white onion 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 tablespoon fish sauce 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoon salt 2 arise stars 2 cinnamon sticks 2 cloves of garlic 1 pinch o...
