In this soul-satisfying dish, delicate rice noodles are combined with gingery spiced beef.
Ingredients
- 4 lemongrass stalks, trimmed, tough outer layers removed, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 4 kaffir lime leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped peeled ginger
- 2 red Thai chiles, with seeds, sliced
- 3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2" pieces
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 whole star anise pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
- 1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 4 medium shallots, quartered
- 1 pound carrots, peeled, cut into 2" lengths, halved if large
- 4 scallions, cut into 1" lengths, plus more for serving
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Process lemongrass, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, ginger, and 2 chiles in a food processor until a fine paste forms.
- Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook beef, turning occasionally, until browned, 10 –15 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Cook lemongrass paste in same pot, stirring often, until lemongrass is beginning to soften, 5 –8 minutes. Add star anise, cinnamon, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, beef with any juices, and 10 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionallly, until beef is tender and liquid is slightly thickened, 2 1/2 –3 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast coconut flakes on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden around the edges, about 4 minutes; set aside.
- Add shallots and carrots to stew and cook, partially covered, until vegetables are soft and beef is falling apart, 35 –45 minutes. Mix in scallions (they should wilt slightly).
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
- Divide noodles among bowls and ladle stew over; top with toasted coconut and more scallions. Serve with lime wedges.
- DO AHEAD: Stew (without noodles) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
