While broth heats, cook rice noodles in boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes, then drain.
Step 3
Divide cooked noodles into four bowls and top each with a handful of thinly sliced raw beef.
Step 4
Pour hot broth over beef and noodles — the heat will cook the meat in seconds to a perfect rare.
