Beef Soup with Tofu and Tomato Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef, thinly sliced (e.g., sirloin or flank steak)
- 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped (optional, but adds a nice tang)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions, for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the beef:
Season the beef slices with salt and pepper.
2. Sauté aromatics:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Brown the beef:
Add the beef to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Don't overcrowd the pot; work in batches if necessary.
4. Add remaining ingredients:
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, kimchi (if using), soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
5. Simmer:
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
6. Add tofu:
Add the cubed tofu to the soup and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
7. Season and serve:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
