INGREDIENTS

2 cups beef bone broth

4 oz eye of round beef

2 oz dry rice noodles

1 tbsp fish sauce

0.5 medium yellow onion

1 inch fresh ginger

2 whole star anise

1 whole cinnamon stick

0.5 cup bean sprouts

0.25 cup fresh Thai basil

0.25 cup fresh cilantro

0.5 whole lime

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Char the onion and ginger over an open flame or under a broiler until slightly blackened and fragrant.

• 2

  In a large pot, bring the beef bone broth to a simmer with the charred onion, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick for 20 minutes.

• 3

  While the broth simmers, prepare the rice noodles according to package directions until tender, then drain and set aside.

• 4

  Thinly slice the raw beef against the grain into paper-thin pieces; freezing the beef for 20 minutes beforehand makes this easier.

• 5

  Strain the broth to remove the solids, then stir in the fish sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 6

  Divide the cooked noodles into a large bowl and top with the raw beef slices.

• 7

  Pour the boiling hot broth over the beef and noodles, which will cook the thin beef slices instantly.

• 8

  Garnish with bean sprouts, fresh Thai basil, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime before serving.
