Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring beef broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add rice noodles to the boiling broth and cook until tender, 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Divide noodles and broth between two bowls, then lay thin beef slices on top — the hot liquid will poach them rare.

  4. Step 4

    Top each bowl with bean sprouts, fresh herbs, and fresh chili slices.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle with chili sauce and lime juice, then serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (4-quart+)
  • wooden spoon
  • two bowls
  • sharp knife for slicing beef
