Main Ingredients- 200g Beef Sirloin
- 2 handfuls dried seaweed (approx. 10-15g, soaked and chopped)
- Plenty of water (approx. 1.5L – 2L)
- 2 Tbsp Tuna Extract (or fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce for Soup
- 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by placing the beef sirloin in a pot. Add enough water to cover the meat and bring it to a boil over high heat. This is the first step to creating a rich broth.
Step 2
About 30 minutes before you start cooking, soak the dried seaweed in cold water until fully rehydrated. Rinse the soaked seaweed thoroughly, squeeze out excess water, and chop it into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm wide). Soaking the seaweed properly is key to achieving a tender texture.
Step 3
As the beef sirloin cooks, foam will start to rise to the surface of the pot. This foam can make the soup cloudy and impart an unwanted flavor, so skim it off completely using a skimmer or spoon. Removing foam is crucial for a clear soup!
Step 4
Once the beef sirloin has cooked sufficiently and infused the broth, carefully remove it from the pot. Let it cool slightly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). Return the cut beef to the pot with the clear broth to simmer further.
Step 5
Now it’s time to season the soup. Add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup and 2 Tbsp of tuna extract first, stirring well to combine. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. It’s best to add salt gradually rather than all at once.
Step 6
Add the prepared soaked and chopped seaweed to the beef broth. Bring it back to a rolling boil over high heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 5-10 minutes. Cooking the seaweed thoroughly allows it to become tender and fully absorb the flavors of the broth.
Step 7
Your Beef Sirloin Seaweed Soup is now complete! Enjoy this clear, refreshing soup with the deep flavor of beef sirloin and the tenderness of seaweed. It’s perfect with a warm bowl of rice.
