Ingredients
For the Broth
- 2 tbsp oil

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 3 tbsp satay sauce or peanut butter
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 cup coconut milk
For the Beef & Noodles
- 300g thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank works best)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 250g rice noodles or egg noodles
Toppings (Optional but Recommended)
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
- Sliced red chili
- Green onions
- Crushed peanuts
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
Mix the beef slices with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This step keeps the beef tender and silky when cooked.
Step 2: Build the Satay Broth
Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté the onion until soft and fragrant, then add garlic and ginger. The aroma should instantly feel warm and nutty. Stir in the red curry paste and cook until the oils release—this intensifies the flavor.
Step 3: Add the Satay Flavor
Add satay sauce (or peanut butter) and stir to melt it into the aromatics. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, sugar, and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer and let the flavors mingle for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Finish With Coconut Milk
Stir in the coconut milk for creaminess. Simmer gently—don’t boil hard—to keep the broth smooth and rich.
Step 5: Cook the Noodles
Prepare your noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide them into bowls.
Step 6: Cook the Beef
Add the marinated beef directly into the simmering broth. It cooks quickly—about 2–3 minutes—turning irresistibly tender.
Step 7: Assemble Your Bowl
Pour the hot satay beef broth over the noodles. Add toppings of your choice for extra color, crunch, and freshness.
Tips & Variations
- Make it spicier: Add extra curry paste or fresh chili.
- Vegetable boost: Add bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts, or carrots.
- Use chicken or tofu: Swap beef for chicken breast or firm tofu for a lighter version.
- Extra nutty: Add a spoonful of peanut butter into the broth.
- Make ahead: Prepare the broth in advance—flavors deepen overnight.
What to Serve With It
This soup is a complete meal, but you can pair it with:
- Crispy spring rolls
- Fresh Asian herb salad
- Steamed dumplings
- Garlic chili cucumber salad
Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store broth and noodles separately for 3–4 days.
- Freezer: The broth freezes beautifully for up to 2 months (freeze without the noodles).
- Reheat: Warm gently on the stove. Add noodles just before serving to avoid mushiness.
