Beef Pho with rich beef broth and rib eye

This beef pho is a cheat’s version of pho using a rich beef broth and my favourite cut of beef, scotch fillet (rib eye). Freeze the steaks for 40 minutes so they firm up a little for easy slicing. The steak slices are placed in bowls before serving and hot broth ladled over the top to cook the slices instantly. Perfect for cool weather.

This was followed by a dessert of asian-inspired banana pancakes with melted chocolate. Yum. Bok choy is cheap and it is super easy to grow. I know this because I’ve grown it before. But at $0.50 for a bag of 2 or 3 bok choy at my local Chinese supermarket, I don’t bother to grow my own. So easy to prepare, just wash and slice into quarters lengthwise. Good rabbit food too. When we have bok choy, Tofu the rabbit also enjoys bok choy. Beef Noodle Soup Beef Ingredients 1 piece of sirloin steak enough for 2 (200-300g) A little sesame oil …
