Broth and Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, add beef bones and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 hours, skimming any foam that forms.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    After 12 hours, add sliced onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves to the pot. Simmer for another 12 hours.

  3. 3

    Strain the Broth

    Strain the broth through a fine sieve into another pot. Discard solids and return broth to heat. Add fish sauce and salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Noodles

    In a separate pot, cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Meat

    Thinly slice the beef tenderloin. Prepare other meats: cook meatballs, braise short ribs, and brisket until tender.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Pho

    In a hot stone bowl, add cooked noodles, arranged meats, and ladle hot broth over the top. Garnish with bean sprouts, sliced green onion, red onion, cilantro, lime wedges, and jalapeno slices.
