INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz Beef sirloin

1.5 oz Dry rice noodles

2 cup Low-sodium beef broth

1 piece Fresh ginger

0.5 medium Yellow onion

2 whole Star anise

1 stick Cinnamon

1 tbsp Fish sauce

0.5 cup Bean sprouts

0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

0.25 cup Fresh Thai basil

1 medium Lime

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Char the halved onion and ginger over an open flame or under a broiler until slightly blackened to release deep, smoky flavors.

• 2

  In a large pot, toast the star anise and cinnamon stick for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the beef broth, charred onion, and ginger.

• 3

  Simmer the broth gently for 20 minutes, then stir in the fish sauce and sea salt before straining the solids out to leave a clear, aromatic liquid.

• 4

  While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package directions, drain, and divide into serving bowls.

• 5

  Thinly slice the raw beef sirloin against the grain into paper-thin pieces using a very sharp knife.

• 6

  Place the raw beef slices over the noodles and pour the boiling hot broth directly over the meat to cook it instantly.

• 7

  Top the soup with bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, Thai basil, black pepper, and a generous squeeze of lime before serving.
