Step 1
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot with star anise and fish sauce, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
While broth heats, boil rice noodles in salted water until tender, ~4 minutes. Drain and divide among four bowls.
Step 3
Remove star anise from broth. Taste and adjust fish sauce or salt.
Step 4
Arrange sliced beef in a single layer over noodles in each bowl.
Step 5
Carefully ladle hot broth over beef; the heat will cook the slices rare, ~20 seconds. Serve immediately.
