PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain; for easier slicing, freeze the meat for 20 minutes beforehand.

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

• 3

  In a large pot, toast the star anise and cinnamon stick over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.

• 4

  Add the beef bone broth, charred onion, ginger, and fish sauce to the pot; simmer gently for 20 minutes to infuse flavors.

• 5

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

• 6

  Strain the broth to remove the solids and return the clear liquid to the pot, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.

• 7

  Divide the cooked noodles into a large bowl and top with the raw, thinly sliced beef.

• 8

  Pour the boiling hot broth over the beef to cook it instantly, then garnish with bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeno, and a squeeze of lime.
