0.5 whole lime

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the halved onion and ginger under a broiler for 5-7 minutes until the surfaces are charred and blackened.

• 2

  In a large pot, combine the beef broth, charred onion, charred ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick.

• 3

  Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to develop the aromatic flavors.

• 4

  While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

• 5

  Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into very thin, almost translucent strips.

• 6

  Remove the solids from the broth using a slotted spoon and stir in the fish sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 7

  Divide the cooked noodles into a large bowl and arrange the raw beef slices on top in a single layer.

  Pour the boiling hot broth directly over the beef slices to cook them through instantly.
