• 3

  Pour in the beef bone broth and add the charred onion, ginger, fish sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.

  Simmer the broth gently for 20 minutes to extract the spice flavors, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot.

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

• 6

  Place the cooked noodles into a large serving bowl and top with the raw, paper-thin slices of eye of round beef.
