Beef Shank Noodle Soup
Ingredients
4 Beef shanks – washed clean to remove any bone fragments

2 Tbsp sugar

Whatever you want!
Preparation
Start by bringing your Bradley Smoker to temp at 250ºF (121.1ºC) running some beer bisquettes. Once this is running at temp, Salt your Beef and get it bathing in the smoker for 2 hours. Once the time is up, remove from the smoker and bring to your cook top for the braising part of this.
In a large soup pot, add all of your ingredients into it. Place your beef in the pot as well, trying to lay them flat to hold some of the shape while it cooks. Place your lid on and bring to a simmer. Allow this to cook off for roughly 3 hours. It will be ready when the beef is fork tender.
Remove the beef and bones, then strain the rest of the ingredients out of the broth. Careful, it will be hot. Place the cleaned soup back in on the cook top and get ready to assemble your bowl!
Start by placing your cooked noodles in the bowl, followed by a generous amount of the beef. Add in whatever else you like. Top the bowl off with the hot stock, and garnish it!
Enjoy!
