Ingredients

For Beef Broth:
1 small onion, diced
1 2 inch stick of ginger
2 pounds beef bones
12 cups water
6-8 star anise
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound lean beef

Noodles:
1 16-ounce package dry, flat Pho rice noodles

Garnish:
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
10 cilantro sprigs, finely chopped
1 cup bean sprouts
10 sprigs basil
10 sprigs fresh culantro (ngo gai)
fresh red or green chile pepper, thinly sliced

Optional:
lime or lemon quarters
fish sauce
hoisin sauce
hot chile sauce

Directions

Directions:
Broil onion and ginger until very crisp and brown. Smash the ginger and set aside.

Wash beef bones, place in a large soup pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately pour off this first boiling water and discard. Add another 12 cups of fresh
water and again bring to a boil. Skim off foam. Add the broiled onion and ginger, star anise, salt and sugar. Over medium-low
heat, simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Slice raw beef into thin strips.

Remove bones from broth and strain out vegetables and seasonings.

Soak noodles in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain. In a soup pot bring two quarts of water to a boil. Add drained noodles and cook eight minutes at a rolling boil, stirring
occasionally until noodles are tender.

Rinse noodles under cold running water and set aside.

Return the broth to a boil over high heat.

*Culantro is a leafy herb with a similar aroma to cilantro, although more pungent. If it is not available, increase the amount of cilantro or simply leave it out.
