1 lb beef, thinly sliced

2 tbsp cooking oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, sliced

3 medium tomatoes, chopped

6 cups beef broth

2 eggs, lightly beaten

8 oz noodles (your choice, such as ramen, udon, or rice noodles)

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Sear the Beef:

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics and Tomatoes:

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot.

Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down into a sauce-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

Prepare the Broth:

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.

Add the soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Noodles:

Add the noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes.

Add the Eggs:

Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while gently stirring to create ribbons of cooked egg.

Combine and Serve:

Return the seared beef to the pot and let it heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro, if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with a side of crusty bread or steamed buns for a heartier meal.

Add a dash of chili oil or hot sauce for a spicy twist.

This warm and nourishing soup is sure to become a go-to favorite!
