Taiwanese beef noodle soup

This is a late post but better late than never, they say. During the snowmageddon 2010, I noticed that everyone somehow turned into culinary experts and were displaying their creations on Facebook. Among the most popular dishes was the Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I often indulge in this hearty soup at Joe's Noodle house. However, since I had no way of getting there and was completely snowed in, I decided to take on the challenge. Out of all the recipes out there, this one seemed to be the one that I could make out (mainly because I had most of the ingredients on hand with a few substitutes).
