Pho Bo Beef Noodle Soup Directions

Prepare the broth: Put beef bones, water, onion, ginger and all the dry spices (star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, cloves, coriander seeds) in a big pot. Turn the heat to high until it boils. Lower the heat and let it cook without the lid for 3 hours. Stir now and then to remove fat from the top with a spoon. The liquid should reduce to half. Let it cool down a bit.
Strain the soup: Pour everything through a strainer into a clean pot. Pick out any meat from the bones to use later. Throw away everything else from the strainer.
Season the broth: Heat up the strained soup again. Add fish sauce and lime juice. Taste it and add more salt, pepper, fish sauce or lime juice if needed.
Prepare noodles and toppings: Put noodles in a big bowl and pour hot water over them. Wait 5-10 minutes until they're soft, then drain. Share the noodles and saved meat between 2 bowls. Put raw beef slices on top. Pour the hot soup in each bowl.
Finish and serve: Top with bean sprouts, green onions, chilies, mint and coriander. Serve right away with lime wedges.
