Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Firm the beef in the freezer for 20 minutes, then slice it paper-thin with a sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Halve the onion and split the ginger lengthwise. Char the cut sides in a dry cast-iron pan over high heat for 5-6 minutes until blackened.

  3. 3

    Pour the broth into a pot, add the charred onion and ginger, cinnamon and cloves and bring to a boil. Simmer partly covered on low heat for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain the broth, season with the fish sauce, sugar and salt and bring back to a boil.

  5. 5

    Dip the rice noodles in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, drain and divide among 4 large bowls. Spread the raw beef slices over the noodles.

  6. 6

    Ladle the boiling broth into the bowls; the heat cooks the beef in seconds.

  7. 7

    Top with sliced green onions, chili rings, basil and parsley leaves, drizzle with the lemon juice and serve at once.
