Step 1
Bring beef broth and ginger to a rolling boil in a large pot over high heat, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While broth heats, place rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water from a kettle, let sit 4 minutes until tender. Drain well.
Step 3
Stir fish sauce into the boiling broth, taste, and adjust to your preference.
Step 4
Divide noodles among four bowls, then top each with a handful of thin raw beef slices.
Step 5
Pour boiling broth and ginger slices over the beef and noodles—the heat will cook the meat to rare in seconds.
Step 6
Top with fresh herbs and serve immediately while piping hot.
