- 1 1-lb. package of Old Neighborhood Beef Shaved Steak
- 28 oz. of dried rice noodles (bánh phở noodles)
- 2-7 lbs. beef bone marrow
- 1 peeled yellow onion
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 2 pieces of ginger (thumb size)
- 3 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 peeled yellow onion
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1 white onion, thinly sliced
- scallions, chopped
- cilantro, chopped
- mint leaves
- Thai Basil leaves
- lime wedges
- bean sprouts
- hoisin sauce
- Sriracha hot chili sauce
- Heat a large pot of water on the stove. Make sure the amount of water you use will cover the bone marrow.
- When the water is boiling, add the bone marrow and boil it for 5-10 minutes.
- Dump the water, and rinse the marrow.
- In a clean pot, add about 5 liters of water, the marrow, and a peeled whole yellow onion. If you are reusing your pot, make sure to clean it. It helps with the clarity of the broth. Heat the water on high until boiling.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, you can deal with the broth spices.
- Cut a peeled yellow onion in half, and cut the ginger pieces in thin ¼ inch slices.
- Grill each of the star anise, cinnamon sticks, onion halves, and ginger slices directly on the stove until there is a bit of char on each. You can also opt to do this in your oven.
- If there is too much char on each of the above spices, make sure to clean it off.
- Toss the onion halves into the pot of water that is cooking. Take the remaining charred spices, wrap them in cheesecloth, and toss that into the pot as well.
- If the water is already boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer at medium low.
- Allow this to cook for at least an hour.
- If you have bean sprouts, you can take this time to blanch them and set them aside.
- After an hour has passed, soak the thin white onion slices and rice noodles in separate bowls of cold water for 30 minutes each.
- After 30 minutes, drain the onion slices and set them aside.
- Drain the soaked rice noodles, and separate them into 4-5 oz. servings.
- Remove the spices in the cheesecloth, as well as the onion halves from the pot of broth.
- Add 1 tbsp. of salt to the broth.
- When you are ready to serve, blanch a serving of noodles in boiling water for 10-20 seconds.
- Drain and place the noodles in a large bowl.
- Add white onion slices, about 2-3 oz. of Old Neighborhood Beef Shaved Steak, some chopped scallions and cilantro. Note that the shaved steak is still raw in this step!
- Spoon a generous amount (enough that you can’t see the noodles) of boiling broth directly on top of the steak. Doing so allows the shaved steak to cook right then and there.
- For each bowl, squeeze your chosen amount of lime wedges, and add your chosen amount of bean sprouts, mint leaves, and Thai basil leaves.
- Serve with hoisin sauce and Sriracha hot sauce.
- Repeat for the remaining servings and enjoy!
