Not quite the same, but still good. I usually use the chicken/turkey alternatives as we don't eat red meat in our house. I don't remember where I got this, some magazine I think...
Ingredients:
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
6 ounces rice noodles
5 ounces baby spinach
1 cup fresh basil leaf
8 ounces pastrami, torn in strips (16 thin slices)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 teaspoons chili oil
1 lime, quartered
Directions:
1. Put broth in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. NOTE - I like to simmer the broth with a 1 piece of fresh ginger (quartered) and a cinnamon stick for 30 minutes, remove the items and bring to a boil. It makes it not-so-quick, but it is more flavorful.
3. Add the noodles, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in the spinach and basil for the last minute of cooking time.
5. Divide beef among 4 serving bowls. Ladle soup over the pastrami, sprinkle with green onions and drizzle with chili sauce.
6. Serve with lime.
