I had a hankering for pho this week so I figured I would try to make it! This at-home recipe has a bit of a darker broth but boy does it taste good!
I found this recipe on Food Network and was surprised at how simple it really was to make. The hardest part was slicing the beef super thin so that it can finish cooking in the broth. If you are worried that your slices are too thick to cook fully, just add the sliced beef to the broth and simmer for about 1 minute before assembling.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 12 ounces lean beef sirloin, fat trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large onion, sliced (or 2 small onions)
- 1 4 -inch piece ginger, unpeeled, halved
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 5 star anise pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 scallions
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
