Instructions
- Clean the beef bones, if desired (see notes above). Whether you clean them or not, you should roast them for additional flavor. To do so, place the bones on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30 minutes at 400° F.
- Add the broth ingredients to the Instant Pot. Fill with water to the 2/3 fill line. Lock on the lid and set the vent to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
- While broth is cooking, cook the noodles according to package instructions, and arrange the garnishes on a plate.
- When the broth is done, let it naturally release pressure for 20 minutes, then let out any remaining pressure and open the lid.
- Using a fine-mesh spoon, remove impurities from the top of the broth. Discard ginger and onions.
- Transfer the bones to a plate to cool. Once cooled enough to touch, remove the meat from the bones, shred, and set aside.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bits, then return the broth to the pot.
- To assemble, add the cooked noodles to a large serving bowl. Top with shredded beef and thinly sliced beef. Pour the broth over the top.
- Add your desired garnishes. Serve hot.
