Directions

For broth: Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Toast for 4 min., or until deeply browned on all sides. Add Green Cardamom Pods, Whole Star Anise, and Coriander Seeds. Toast spices for 20 to 30 seconds before adding water, Beef Style Broth Concentrate, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir and bring broth to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 40 min., or until broth has reduced to 6 cups. Strain broth and return to pot. Keep broth hot until ready to serve.

To assemble: Divide rehydrated rice stick noodles and steak or brisket between four serving bowls. Top with very hot broth to cover and cook meat. Garnish with Fresno chile pepper, lime, cilantro, mint, Thai basil, bean sprouts, hoisin sauce, and hot chili oil to taste.
