Then add the lime juice and fish sauce.2 litres beef stock, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3 star anise, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- Cook the rice noodles as per packet instructions in a large saucepan. In the last minute of cooking, add the bok choy. Remove the bok choy and dry, then roughly chop. Drain the noodles, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.375 g rice noodles, 2 bundles bok choy
- Heat a medium frying pan or barbecue to medium heat. Add the olive oil and cook the rump on each side for about 1–2 minutes (depending on the thickness). I like my beef rare so judge the thickness and cook as desired. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice into thin strips.500–600 g beef rump steak, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Divide the noodles among the bowls (you may need to run the noodles through a little cold water if they have gone sticky). Then add the hot stock to the bowls. Follow with the bok choy, beef strips, bean sprouts, coriander, chilli, lime wedges and fried shallots.
