Step 1
Bring pho broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
While broth heats, soak rice noodles in hot water from the kettle until soft, ~4 minutes, then drain.
Step 3
Divide noodles among four bowls and arrange sliced beef on top of each portion.
Step 4
Pour boiling broth slowly over beef and noodles—the heat will cook the meat rare to medium-rare.
Step 5
Top each bowl with fresh herbs, squeeze lime juice over, and drizzle with sriracha to taste.
