Instructions
Make the broth
- Char the onion and ginger under the broiler for 5 minutes or until charred.
- Add all the whole spices in a pot and toast for about 2 minutes.
- Add the bone broth in to the pot along with the charred ginger and onion.
- Cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes.
Cut & Prepare Toppings
- Add boiling hot water to your serving bowls and set side. This will help to keep your soup hot.
- Slice the beef very thinly so it cooks once you add the hot broth.
- Slice the mushrooms the same way. You can blanch the mushrooms and bean sprouts if you'd like but I like to let the hot broth do all the cooking.
- Thinly slice the jalapeno Thai chili, and onion. Prep cilantro and Thai basil.
- After 18 minutes of simmering the broth, remove the lid and add the sweetener and fish sauce. Bring to rolling boil to serve. The broth must be boiling hot.
- Arrange the steak , noodles and mushrooms in your hot serving bowls. Pour hot broth over. Add onion & jalapeno slices if using. Squeeze a wedge of lime and garnish with Thai basil & cilantro. Now get messy, it's worth it!

Notes
Make sure to taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. the broth should be a little on the salty side so when you add the noodles, meat and veggies, it can even out.
This makes a great make ahead meal or amazing lunch with leftovers. Store the broth, meat and toppings Separate. Comes time for lunch, just heat and enjoy. The broth can also be frozen and used later on.
