Savory beef noodle soup bursting with Vietnamese flavors - the ultimate comfort dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg beef bones
  • 3000.00 gm (3 litres) water
  • 2 brown onions, halved
  • 5cm piece ginger, peeled, sliced
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 6 whole star anise
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 green cardamom pods, bruised
  • 20.00 ml coriander seeds
  • 60ml fish sauce
  • 60ml lime juice
  • 200g rice stick noodles
  • 1 (about 200g) beef fillet steak, thinly sliced
  • 110g bean sprout
  • 125.00 ml round mint leaves
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 2 red birdseye chillies, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, combine beef bones, water, onion, ginger, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer gently, skimming any fat from the surface occasionally, for 3 hours or until the liquid reduces by a quarter. Remove any meat from the bones and set aside. Strain the stock through a sieve, discarding solids.
  • Bring the soup to a simmer over high heat. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, fish sauce, and lime juice as needed.
  • Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 5 minutes then drain well. Divide noodles and beef among serving bowls, add sliced beef on top. Pour hot soup equally into each bowl. Garnish with bean sprouts, mint, coriander, and chili. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
