Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Short Ribs

In a large pot, add the beef short ribs and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Drain and set aside.

2

Make the Broth

In the same pot, add beef broth, fermented bean paste, onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil.

3

Add the Ribs

Add the short ribs back into the pot. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender.

4

Cook the Noodles

While the broth is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5

Serve the Pho

In a bowl, place a portion of cooked noodles, ladle over the broth with short ribs, and garnish with bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños. Drizzle with marrow oil if using.
