INGREDIENTS
Dry spices
3 whole star anise
1 2-inch cinnamon stick
Coriander 1 teaspoon seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
For the broth
1 yellow onion, peeled & halved
3 cloves garlic, peeled & halved
1 3-inch long piece of fresh ginger, unpeeled and halved
1 Lemon grass stalk, smashed (optional)
2.5 cups Broth - beef or chicken or a combination (homemade or store bought)
2 tbsp Fish Sauce
8 oz Rice Noodles
8 0z Grass Rooted Beef - leftover medium-rare tender steak thinly sliced and cut into bite-size pieces (filet mignon works great!)
Toppings (optional)
Scallions
Cilantro
Basil
Shallots
Bean sprouts
Lime wedges
Chile paste, or thinly sliced fresh hot chiles
Broil onions: arrange the ginger, garlic, and onions cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high until the aromatics are deeply charred in spots, 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
Toast spices: In a dry 3-qt. or larger saucepan over medium heat, combine the star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, and fennel seeds. Toast the spices, shaking the pan occasionally, until quite fragrant, 1 to 2 min.
Make broth: Add the onions, garlic, ginger and the lemon grass to pot with the spices. Then add the broths and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 min. Stir in fish sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Strain the aromatics from the broth, return to a sauce pot, and reserve for assembly.
Cook noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and portion them into soup bowls.
Assembly: Portion the steak, scallions, cilantro, basil, and shallot into the bowls, scattering them over the noodles. Divide the broth among the bowls, pouring it over the noodles and other ingredients.
Toppings: Top with the bean sprouts or other optional garnishes. Serve with the lime wedges and chile paste or chiles on the side.
Serve and enjoy!
