Preparation
 
Here s a pretty simple Vietnamese beef soup recipe in contrast to the
recipe for Hanoi Beef Soup. It doesn t call for hot chilies, but you
can slice a couple into thin rounds and toss em in. That s kosher
(if that term can apply...) with any Vietnamese soup. Add em either
when the soup is brought to it s final boil or just after it s
removed from the heat.

If you are using fresh lemon grass, simply remove the outer leaves and
upper two-thirds of the stalk, then chop. If you are using dried, it
must be soaked for 2 hours, then drained and chopped fine.

Sprinkle the black pepper, 1 teaspoon of the fish sauce, and chopped
garlic over the meat; mix well and allow the meat to absorb the
flavors for a few minutes.

Heat the oil and fry the shallots over a high flame. Add the lemon
grass and fry for about 1 minute, then add the meat. Cook until all
traces of redness are gone. Add the water, bring to a boil, and add
the beef bouillon cubes, remaining 1 teaspoon fish sauce, and salt.
Immediately before serving, bring the soup to a boil. Pour into bowls
and sprinkle with the chopped coriander and scallion.
