This is an easy Vietnamese Pho Tai recipe that is made with thin-cut sirloin, rice noodles and garnished with lime, cilantro, and chilies.

One of my favorite things to do in NYC, especially during the winter, was go to Chinatown with my roommate and go to this hole in the wall Vietnamese place for some traditional Pho. They usually serve pho with hoisin sauce and Sriracha. I use to down my broth with Sriracha (I am a little obsessed with spicy foods).

How to make this Vietnamese Pho Tai recipe:

In a large stockpot over medium high heat, add the oil and wait for it to shimmer. Add the ginger and place the onion cut-side-down. Cook until charred, about 7-10 minutes. Remove and set on a plate.

Wipe the pot down and in the same pot on medium high heat, add the anise, cloves and cinnamon for 3 minutes until fragrant. Add the onions and ginger back into the pot as well as the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Strain and dispose the onion, ginger, and spices. Add the fish sauce, sugar, and salt as needed. Add the thin slices of steak into the broth and cook for 1-3 minutes.

Cook the noodles according to package instructions.

Assemble the noodles. Add the vermicelli noodles in each bowl. With tongs, take the pieces of steak out of the broth and add in each bowl. Ladle the simmering hot broth into the serving bowls.

Garnish with bean sprouts, limes, Thai basil, mint, jalapeños and scallions.
