Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef shank or brisket, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 2 star anise
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 8 ounces fresh wheat noodles
- Vegetables (like bok choy or spinach, optional)
Instructions
- Start by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Once hot, add the vegetable oil followed by the garlic, onion, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
- Add the beef pieces to the pot, searing them until browned on all sides. This will enhance the flavors of your soup.
- Next, pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, star anise, and sugar. Stir everything well to combine.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for about 35 minutes.
- After the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes, then carefully switch to quick release for any remaining steam.
- While the soup is cooking, you can prepare the wheat noodles according to the package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
- After releasing the pressure, open the lid and taste the broth; adjust seasoning if necessary. If using, add the vegetables and let them cook for an additional 3-4 minutes in the residual heat.
- To serve, place a portion of cooked noodles in a bowl, ladle the hot beef broth and beef over the top, and garnish generously with chopped green onions.
