Beef Pho


  • Author: michael
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Bag Mrs. Miller’s Old Fashioned Kluski Noodles
  • 8 tsp Mrs. Miller’s Beef Soup Base
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion, quartered, divided
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1 TBS Fish Sauce
  • 2 (1 in.) Piece Fresh Ginger, thinly sliced (no need to peel)
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • 1 Star Anise Pod
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 2 Cloves, whole
  • 8 oz beef, very thinly sliced (like a flat iron or flank steak or brisket)
  • Salt, to taste

Toppings

  • ½ Cup Bean Sprouts
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves, chopped
  • Lime Wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice one of the onion quarters as thin as possible; set aside. 
  2. In a large pot, bring the remaining 3 onion quarters, beef broth, water, ginger, cinnamon stick, sugar, star anise, and cloves to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Off the heat, add the noodles. Let sit, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until the noodles are soft and pliable but still not tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside.
  4. Over a large bowl, strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the solids and pour the clear broth back into the pot. (Alternatively, you can use a fine mesh spider to fish out the solids.)
  5. Bring the broth to a boil, add fish sauce, more sugar or salt if needed.
  6. Add the noodles; cook until the noodles are just tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  7. Using tongs or a spider, lift the noodles from the pot and divide evenly into bowls.
  8. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the sliced raw beef to the broth; let simmer until no longer pink, about 1 minute.
  9. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the beef from the broth and divide between the bowls. Ladle the broth over the noodles and beef.
  10. Top each bowl with the reserved thinly sliced onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro (you may not need all of the onions). 
  11. Pass the lime wedges, and hot sauce at the table. Enjoy!

Notes

To add even more flavor allow 2 lbs of Beef Brisket to simmer with broth in Step 2 for three hours.
