In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the beef chuck over medium-high heat. Remove the beef and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
Add the noodles to the soup and cook according to package directions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and garnish with your favorite toppings.
