Instructions

  1. 1
    Blanch bones: boil for 10 minutes in water, drain, and rinse with cold water. Removes impurities for clear broth.
  2. 2
    Halve ginger and quarter onions. Char directly over a gas flame or grill until the outside is blackened — adds depth and sweetness.
  3. 3
    Dry toast spices (star anise, cinnamon, cloves, coriander) until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Place bones in a large pot with 1 gallon (4 L) water, charred ginger and onions, spices, and beef brisket.
  5. 5
    Bring to a boil, skim foam. Reduce to very low heat — the broth should only simmer gently, never boil rapidly. Simmer for at least 6 hours (better 8).
  6. 6
    After 2 hours: remove brisket, slice, and set aside. Continue cooking bones.
  7. 7
    Strain broth through a fine sieve. Season with fish sauce and sugar — it should be clear, deep brown, and intensely umami.
  8. 8
    Soak rice noodles and briefly blanch.
  9. 9
    Slice raw beef sirloin paper-thin (easier when half-frozen).
  10. 10
    Build bowls: noodles, sliced brisket, raw sirloin. Fold ZenOil in cold. Pour hot broth over — the heat cooks the raw sirloin.
  11. 11
    Serve herb plate on the side: Thai basil, cilantro, sprouts, lime, and chili.

Pro Tips

  • The raw sirloin is cooked by the hot broth in the bowl — classic phở style.
  • Never boil rapidly: clear broth is the mark of excellence.
  • Fold ZenOil into the individual bowl — so everyone doses themselves and it disperses in the broth.
  • Time-saving: Instant Pot or pressure cooker — 90 minutes instead of 6 hours.
