Layered Asian flavours and a complete meal in under thirty minutes? Absolutely! This one tastes even better if you refrigerate the beef mixture overnight to blend the flavours before adding it to the broth.

If you prefer chicken or pork, replace the beef. Just make sure the chicken is cooked through.

8 ounces beef tenderloin – thinly sliced
4 large shallots – halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

3 pints chicken stock
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar equivalent of stevia
