1 tbsp Fish sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Char the white onion and fresh ginger over an open gas flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackened and fragrant.

• 2

  In a large pot, toast the star anise and cinnamon stick over medium heat for 2 minutes to release their essential oils.

• 3

  Add the beef broth, charred onion, ginger, and fish sauce to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer for 20 minutes.

• 4

  While the broth infuses, cook the rice noodles in a separate pot of boiling water according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

• 5

  Thinly slice the beef eye of round against the grain into paper-thin pieces using a very sharp knife.

• 6

  Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids, then return the clear liquid to the pot and bring it to a rolling boil.

• 7

  Place the cooked noodles in a large bowl and layer the raw beef slices on top.

• 8

  Pour the boiling broth over the beef to cook it instantly, then top with bean sprouts, cilantro, Thai basil, sea salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lime.
