Prepare the Bones
In a large pot, add the beef bones and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. This will help to clean the bones.

Cook the Broth
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for at least 4 hours. The longer you simmer, the more flavorful the broth will be.

Strain the Broth
After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot, discarding the solids. Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or salt if needed.
