Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 4 oz vermicelli noodles in boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Season the 8 oz beef with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and cook the beef until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.

  3. Step 3

    Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5 seconds, then lay it on a plate. Place a few greens, herbs, noodles, and beef slices in the center. Fold the sides over and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the rolls with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., hoisin or fish sauce-based).
