Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cook rice noodles according to package directions.

    Meanwhile, place a large saucepan over high heat. Prick the meat all over with a fork to make it more tender, then season with salt and pepper.

    Sear the meat until charred but still rare, 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate. Add the onion and ginger and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the broth, 3 cups of water, star anise, and cinnamon.

    Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, thinly slice the green onion, jalapeño pepper (for a less spicy dish, remove the seeds), and pick the cilantro. Thinly slice the meat across the grain. Drain the noodles.

    Add fish sauce to the broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Discard the ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Remove and chop the onion. Divide the noodles among 4 bowls, pour in the broth, and top with the beef, green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeño, and onion.
