Beef Pares Mami

How to make Beef Pares Mami

1. 1In medium-sized pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Sear the beef, flipping frequently with a spatula until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
2. 2Lower the heat to medium. Add in the onions and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Add in the garlic and ginger, continue to sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
3. 3Add back in the seared beef. Pour in the beef stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and star anise. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover, lower the heat to medium-low, and let simmer for 45 minutes until the beef is tender.
4. 4In the meantime, prepare the rest of the components:Prepare the noodles: Bring a medium-pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add in the egg noodles and cook according to packaged instructions. Once cooked, strain, briefly run under cold water to retain their chew. Transfer to a bowl and set aside for later.Prepare the bok choy: Bring a medium-pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add in the Bok Choy, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the leaves turn a bright green and the stalk turns tender. Immediately drain and plunge or rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Transfer to a plate and set aside for later.Prepare the eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully lower the eggs and lower to medium-heat. Set a timer depending on your preferred doneness (I like to go for 7 to 8 minutes for a jammy, custardy yolk). Once boiled, immediately plunge in ice water to stop the cooking. Peel the shell and cut in half. Transfer to a plate and set aside for later.
5. 5Once the soup has finished simmering, prepare the cornstarch slurry by whisking the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl. Pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring the soup simultaneously with a spatula to avoid clumping. Let the soup simmer for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. 6To assemble: Divide your cooked noodles between two serving bowls. Ladle in the soup from the Beef Pares. Place the Bok Choy, boiled eggs, and a generous amount of the beef cubes on top of the noodles. Top with the fried garlic and green onions. Serve immediately.
