Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat.

Cut the onion in half and slice the ginger. Place both on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 10-15 minutes until slightly charred.

Roast the Aromatics

In a large pot, add the beef bones and water. Bring to a boil, then skim off any foam. Add the roasted onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Lower the heat and let it simmer for at least 4 hours, skimming occasionally.

Simmer the Broth

After simmering, strain the broth to remove solids. Return the broth to the pot and season with fish sauce and salt to taste. Keep warm.

Season the Broth

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

Cook the Rice Noodles

Thinly slice the beef sirloin or brisket against the grain. You can also choose to briefly blanch the beef in the hot broth if you prefer it cooked.

Prepare the Beef

Rinse and chop the fresh herbs, slice the lime into wedges, and chop the green onions. Set aside with bean sprouts and jalapeños.

Prepare the Garnishes

In a large bowl, add a portion of the cooked rice noodles. Top with sliced beef, fresh herbs, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and green onions.

Combine Ingredients

Ladle the hot broth over the assembled ingredients in the bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
