Directions: |
Directions:Set a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the star anise, peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon stick and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute; scoop out and set aside. Add garlic, onion, and ginger and char, about 5 minutes.
Add oxtail or beef bones and reserved spices. Add water to cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered at least three hours. Add the fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. At some point during this period, cook the rice noodles in boiling salted water until tender, just a few minutes. Strain, rinse in cold water, and set aside.
When broth is done, strain and reheat until it’s just about boiling. Divide the noodles and sirloin among the serving bowls and then pour in the broth. Garnish with the bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, Chile's, and scallions and serve, squeezing lime juice over all. Also serve with hoisin sauce and hot chili sauce. |

Notes: We set our pho up buffet style, soup base in pot, noodles in a larger strainer, bowl each of beef from bones, bowl for sliced beef served medium rare, bowl for meatballs and one for shrimp. Same with herbs. Everyone creates their own bowl of Pho. Some Pho recipes call for beef tripe or tendon, we do not like that, so we do not include them ion our version.
